Hi, I'm looking for someone who can come to Hixon to look at a plumbing issue and maybe also to replace British Gas for servicing the boiler. Maybe seperate people but need a plumber urgently. Thanks

Did anyone spot the lighting crews setting up for something on the Cannock Road today? It's at an old detached house which has been empty for a while now. We actually looked at buying it, it was like something out of Ashes to Ashes. Someone has obviously died and the house was just as they...

Area coned off, looks too big to have been a bin on fire. What happened?

If you don't recognise it by name you almost certainly have seen it. It's the big house opposite the old Police HQ on the Cannock Road (the one they didn't demolish). A quick google search didn't really pull up any history on it. Had a little gander this evening and looks like they are...
