This issue sees the beginning of the third year  of the Newcastle-under-Lyme Civic Society magazine.  During this time we have tried to keep our readers informed about our various activities trying to make Newcastle Borough a better place in which to live and work.  We have printed articles covering a wide variety of subjects, but sadly there has been little response from members of the public.
Newcastle, its town centre and rural area,  is your own.  We would like to know what you think about it and what you would like to see improved.
The Citizenship Competition we have set for school children for some years seems to have run its course, at any rate for the time being, so we are now looking at new ways to stimulate interest in the area.   More on this at a later date.
The Civic Awards Competition is due to be held again in the summer of 2011.
