Field notes
The site is still preparing its first issue, but already lays out a coverage plan: council and planning decisions, school-board news, local events, Bridge Street business changes, and official public-safety releases. It says stories are checked against sources and reviewed by an editor, and that corrections are made openly; those practices remain publisher claims until issues are available.
