Welcome to your new-look Community News.
Having only moved to Settle from Bradford two years ago, I consider it quite a privilege to be entrusted with the role of editing this magazine.
I’d like to thank the outgoing editorial team for their hard work and dedication over many years and for allowing myself and the new team the opportunity to get involved.
We are looking to expand the range of content, so if you think there are issues we should be covering, people whose life and work would be of interest to others, or people and organisations whose activities deserve more attention, do let us know.
Whether it is an article ready for press or just a tip off that we should follow up, we want to hear from you.
We also want to use the cover as a platform for local artists. If you would like to see your own work on the cover in future, please do get in touch with your ideas.
As well as giving a new look to the magazine, we have also relaunched our website at www.settlenews.co.uk where you can read articles past and present and download a digital copy too, which we hope will be a great way for Settle folk who no longer live in the area to keep in touch with what’s happening here.
If you’re planning a holiday, we’d love you to take a copy with you and send us some photos with the mag in front of some iconic landmarks. Let’s see how far afield we can take a little piece of Settle!
For now, I hope you will enjoy what we have put together for you in this issue, and I look forward to carrying on the conversation in future editions.
