Changes
Just thought I would bring you up to date with a number of changes taking place in the Gazette newsroom at the moment.
Our content editor David Tilley is moving today to our sister paper the Harrow Observer to take up the editor's role.
David has been at the Gazette for the last two years and has overseen a number of content changes to the paper and although he is movonig down the road I am sure he will still be a regular visitor to Gazette House on his press day.
Chris Longhurst is taking up the role of news editor at the Gazette, stepping up from his current position as chief reporter.
Local boy Chris has been at the Gazette for a number of years now and his knowledge of the area is invaluable along with the many contacts he has built up over the years.
I will be working closely with Chris on further developing the content of the Gazette and Leader titles and also the website.
And it really is all change in the newsroom as our Hayes reporter John Hugill has departed to embark on the backpacking trail.
You will be able to read all about John's adventures in his blog as he travels the world for the next four months. It will appear regularly in the Gazette and also on the website - so watch out for some exciting tails from our intrepid former reporter.
Replacing John is Sarika Sharma, who has been working for our titles in Buckinghamshire, but lives in West Drayton so she is more than familar with the Gazette patch.
Apart from all the changes in the newsroom it is a very busy time at the moment - hence my lack of recent postings.
A lot of this revolves around some really exciting developments taking place with our website which I will soon be able to tell you about - so watch this space for some more news on this.

Speaking as a Manx cat, I will be most interested in watching "out for some exciting tails from [y]our intrepid former reporter" - maybe he can bring back a tail or two just for me!
