The Staffordshire Signal Weekly: the fight over Spode Works, Tunstall's £8,000 heritage penalty, and Longton's thank you to its firefighters

Dear readers,

This week's top story is a big one, our investigation into the fight over Spode Works, where a plan to regenerate one of Stoke's most significant heritage sites has drawn formal objections from the very artists and organisations who call it home.

Elsewhere, a Tunstall landlord has been ordered to pay over £8,000 for letting a historic building rot, Trentham Live wrapped up a sold out weekend of music, and Longton showed its firefighters just how much the town appreciates them.

Our Crowdfunder is still live, and there's still time, until Friday, to back the campaign and pick up a heavily discounted advertising package while you help us grow Signal TV, launch our podcast and build the app. Every pound gets us closer to our £15,000 target, and it makes a genuine difference to what we can cover.

Until next Wednesday.

Jenna
