We're now working closely with the UK's two biggest regional news publishers. We're looking for stories that you think your LOCAL newspapers need to be writing about. They could be about anything, but it clearly has to. be something local to you. Essentially, these publishers want to know what YOU want them to write about. So what do you think needs to be covered by local news desks in your area, &nbsp;town or city that hasn't been? Have you got any things you'd like to see them write about — or write more about? Are there local issues that you think haven't been picked up but which should be? The stories could be business-related, social, political, council-related, police- or crime-related or anything whatsoever. Any story ideas, send them across. Clearly you'll feature in the stories you send us.

Camden's sudden surge in bike lanes is causing major disruption, not just to drivers, but to pedestrians. Poorly marked crossings, confusing layouts, and constant diversions have made it more dangerous for people to cross the road safely. Local businesses I have spoken to are also feeling the effects, with reduced access and deliveries delayed. The council insists it's all progress, but many residents feel sidelined. Why hasn't this rollout been properly scrutinised?

We are a North London Property Management company specifically aimed at private landlords with portfolios of 1-10 residential properties, who are looking for a totally hands off experience, and are fed up with being over charged by traditional high street letting agents. Our management fee of 8% includes all call out charges and renewals of safety certificates. (If you would like us to source and onboard tenants, this will be charged at an extra 7% of the retnal amount.) Highlights of our offering: we have multilingual staff who can deal with any issues from our tenants or guests who have moved to London from abroad Our concierge service for tenants and guests includes arranging business trips, booking restaurants, and even making an appointment with a private doctor - once you're with Mo'Living, you become part of our family and this value add means that landlords and letting agents can increase their rent (we have partnered with letting agents such as Chestertons and Portico to offer our management services to their tenants) We provide an eco friendly, branded goodie bag for all our tenants, including tote bags, water bottles, key rings, mugs, and coasters
