Dear readers, we've been listening. We tried a digital newspaper format, and honestly, most of you weren't keen (whoops, sorry about that). So from this week, we're doing things differently, a proper weekly newspaper feel, delivered as a digital digest, with the full stories always a click away on the site.
It's been a big seven days for local democracy, a fire that shut down part of Hanley, and a dozen business owners about to swap suits for dance shoes. Here's what mattered across Staffordshire this week.
Let us know what you think of this new format, there's a two minute survey at the bottom of this edition.
Away from the desk today, I've been at Screen Staffordshire, then I went to Middleport Pottery to see it being used as a film location, quite something to watch happen. And I'm properly looking forward to the Big Staffy Stroll this weekend, if you're bringing a dog, or just fancy meeting a lot of them, do come and say hello.
Until next Wednesday.
Jenna
