Website development
We are currently making some exciting changes to our website and giving it a completely new look.
It's still very much a case of work in progress but the site has a number of new features and is now far easier to navigate around.
We will also have dedicated websites for key areas in the borough like Harefield, Hayes and Harlington, Ruislip and Eascote bringing you the ultra local news from your area.
Please go to http://www.uxbridgegazette.co.uk and let me know your thoughts and views on the site as it continues to develop.
Apart from the website development it has been a bit of a torrid week so far at Gazette House with shortages in the production department (subs) meaning we have been really under the cosh.
So far we have just about managed to meet our deadlines and I think everyone will breathe a huge sigh of relief when this afternoon comes and the final deadline of the week is over. And then of course we start all over again ....
Apolgies to all our readers of the Hayes edition of the Gazette for the cock up on the front page with a story being obliterated by an advertisement.
Mistakes do happen and in the scale of things this was a pretty big one. However, there is no point dwelling over it for too long and we have to move on and ensure that it does not happen again.
I feel particularly sorry for our new Hayes reporter Sarika Sharma whose first front page story ended up not appearing - as they say things can only get better!
Word has reached me that our former Hayes reporter John Hugill has already run in to problems on his world travels.
Two weeks in to the trip (I believe he has reached Kathmandu) and he is reportedly already running out of cash!
He may be back sooner rather than later but you can keep track of his travels in the Gazette and also on the website.
