Today is National Foodbank Day.

We’re sorry to have to ask again but funds are running low. Can you spare a few pounds? 🙏

You can still donate to our crowdfunder here:

We have flood sacks at the foodbank. If your street floods, let us know. Risk areas previously have been Tudor Rd and and Repton St. Read the advice. Move key documents upstairs.

A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms and heavy rain has been issued for Wednesday and Thursday (26 and 27 Aug) – along with a warning of possible flooding.

Need some extra income?

Hello! The Gazette urgently needs more paid local deliverers! Some of our long-standing people are heading off to Uni or about to start GCSEs, so we have several vacancies beginning in Sept. If you're over 11 years of age or an older person who enjoys a good yomp around your neighbourhood, send a DM or email: [email protected] Areas: Letchworth Road, Winstanley Dr, Park Rise and . It really helps if you live very close to or in those patches.
