A Note from the Editor

Welcome to the first issue of 2025, we hope you enjoy reading it.
I want start by giving an apology to Sue Essex who appeared on our front page in the Dec/Jan issue and for our error in elevating her to a Reverend of the Church of England when she is a Fully Licensed Minster.
I have apologised to her in person, but wanted to include this now, so that everyone is fully aware it was our error.
We at the Stn also want to say to everyone affected by the floods on 6th January 2025, that we are so sorry for what you’re going through.
We will do all we can to help get better resilience systems in place to protect our town from future problems by working with local flood groups, flood wardens, councils, the Environment Agency and our MP. If you want to help please let us know and we’ll pass your details onto the appropriate agency.
