Happy Birthday ! I do pay and it’s worth every penny. I’ve spread the word on FB

Happy birthday and here's to many more! The modest subscription is a small price to pay if it means avoiding endless adverts, blatent clickbait, and cut'n'paste press releases.

Many moons ago I ran a sporting website, and I was always honest and transparent when I quoted from PR people. It's a courtesy to readers which seems to be forgotten by many "reputable" content creators.

You should be proud of what you've achieved so far, and I wish you every success.

Happy Third birthday. You’ll be pleased to hear I’m often asked by my family or the Mrs how I know what I know about local events/controversies/nice things, and the answer is usually ‘I read it in Local Authority’

Happy birthday. You are doing great work and providing an excellent service. Don’t live in the area but run a similar substack so know how hard it can be at times. Keep going and holding them to account!

Thank you so much! Very much enjoy what you guys are doing too. In fact, I think yours was the first I found that wasn't a huge city so helped me believe it could work in this sort of area. Keep up the good work - your stuff on the Police and Fire Commissioner last year was superb.
