15 years of the Messenger
The very first Messenger was produced fifteen years ago, in July 1999. In that issue, we reported on new plans to improve Spital Hill. Fifteen years later, we report on the opening of the new area around Spital Hill (See 'Ellesmere Green opening event'). Sometimes it takes that long. Working in a community is something for the long-term.
Support the Messenger
The Messenger has a good track record and regularly gets compliments for its quality and its role in the community. Lots of people contribute. But we still need more people to help us, particularly with raising funds for the project.
