4 <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Life</strong><br />
The ink was barely dry on all those optimistic<br />
New Decade’s resolutions when along<br />
came the virus which completely changed<br />
the world that we live in. Everyone has been<br />
affected by this to some degree, and our sincerest<br />
condolences go to those who have lost loved ones.<br />
There are so many who have put themselves in<br />
harm’s way to tackle this virus and we are forever<br />
in your debt.<br />
If there is a sliver of a silver lining amongst all<br />
this, it is the way that local communities have<br />
pulled together in all sorts of ways to help each<br />
other survive. As a community magazine, it is only<br />
right that we highlight the efforts made by those<br />
individuals and groups who have gone above and<br />
beyond to help others. We would like to do this in<br />
our September magazine, but we want your help!<br />
Tell us which individuals or voluntary groups<br />
brought a little light into your life and made a<br />
difference in your neighbourhood and together we<br />
will highlight their good work. Just email details to<br />
editorial@locallife247.co.uk or post a message on<br />
our Facebook page <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Life</strong> Magazines.<br />
You will notice that this copy of <strong>Local</strong> life is slimmer<br />
than normal and this is because the <strong>July</strong> and<br />
August issues of our magazine are being delivered<br />
via Royal Mail on a strict 100g weight limit – which<br />
is equivalent to 68 pages. Many of the regular<br />
editorial features have been suspended because<br />
of this, as our priority right now must be to use the<br />
available space to try and help local people get<br />
their businesses back on track.<br />
We know that many of you use our trades sections<br />
at the back of this magazine to source good quality<br />
local tradespeople and we have been working with<br />
them to ensure that you are safe when they visit<br />
your home. Where you see the logo illustrated on<br />
an advertisement, you know that the tradesperson<br />
concerned has confirmed to us that<br />
they are following safe distancing<br />
guidelines and will wear PPE when<br />
appropriate to do so.<br />
Going forward, we are going to spend the next few<br />
weeks working on the re-launch of the new look<br />
<strong>Local</strong> <strong>Life</strong> magazine. As from September, our new<br />
look magazine will be different: a different feel and<br />
a different size awaits you! Stay safe this summer<br />
and see you in September.<br />
