Talk to the people covering your local council
We report on the decisions made by London’s 33 local authorities. If something is happening where you live, you’ve spotted a mistake or you want to work with us, this is how to reach the newsroom.

The newsroom
We’re a small newsroom covering all 33 of London’s local authorities. Technology helps us read more council agendas, minutes and webcasts than a traditional newsroom could, but people remain firmly in charge: every article is reviewed and edited by our Editorial Director before it’s published.
