About Us

We’re passionate, avid news readers who’ve noticed that today’s local journalism often takes a back seat to global headlines and celebrity gossip. All too often you’re met with endless, obtrusive ads, slow‐loading pages, unskippable popups, “click to continue” roadblocks—or sky-high subscription fees that make Netflix look cheap.

Our Mission

To build a UK-wide news platform that puts local stories first. Enter your village, town or city, and we’ll deliver the latest news that matters to you—free from endless clutter, invasive ads, and paywalls that price you out of staying informed.

Ad-Supported, but User-First

Yes, we’ll have adverts—every news site does—but we refuse to sacrifice your experience in search of a few extra pennies. No hidden popups, no infinite‐scroll ad carousels, no pages that bounce you back to the top. We believe the fastest way to become the UK’s best local news site is by making it delightfully simple to read what matters.

Community-Powered

Want to share your own story? If you don’t use Facebook or X, how else can you get the word out about local events? We’re your platform to submit articles, share announcements, and connect without Big Tech in the middle.
