Chilling fact
It's a chilling fact that tragic stories sell newspapers and that is also the case when it comes to viewing stories on our website.
The story which we posted on Monday about the pensioner tragically killed while crossing Vine Street in Uxbridge registered more hits than any single story we have put on the site since it was launched.
We have covered this story in more depth in this week's Gazette which, also includes an excellent spread on the problems passengers are facing on buses across the borough due to anti-social beheaviour and vandalism.
This is an issue which affects a lot of our readers, many of whom have already voiced their grave concerns about safety issues on buses. I expect a heavy postbag of comments over the next few days following our in-depth feature looking at the problems.
All in all I am pleased with this week's paper which is an excellent mix of hard news and good human interest stories along with several strong features, including the one on the closure of Sellenby, the second hand record shop in Eastcote.
However, all is not lost for those trying to get their hands on that long-lost rarity as the family are continuing to run the shop's original branch in nearby Harrow. It is situated at 245, Northolt Road, South Harrow.
