Quite a few people have moaned on this forum that the Observer doesn't seem as local, since the recent changes.

Having an independent local newspaper is very important, at least as far as democracy is concerned, and we should try to help if we know of any leads, or stories that might benefit from publication.

I've twice contacted the Observer with what I thought were issues of interest. One being the non-recycled trade waste in Hyndburn, and the other about the questionaires not being delivered from the council, which came to light via Accy Web.

Both times the staff were very willing to help.
