As March sidles over the horizon with snowdrops in one hand and a bucket of sleet in the other, Spurtle’s Issue 260 brings news of all the latest squalls affecting the barony and beyond.
We kick off with pugilism in high places, and a failure to get to the root of the problem elsewhere. We have word of not-so-jolly green giants leaving our streets, and of African visitors returning to warmer climes.
Stand by for views on planning reform and financially sustainable arts, and a serious blockage that may constipate the city centre for months.
If it’s black and white birds you’re interested in, we’ve got three of them. And signs in wrong places, shadows, landslips, ballet, bogs and a bandstand. Look no further for the best urban scrawl, disgust, inconvenience, disjunction, delight.
Wherever it squeaks, bleats or sounds off in public, if it concerns Broughton you’ll find it in the Spurtle.
Out from tomorrow in all the usual places, and downloadable as a mildew-resistant pdf on our Homepage from midnight tonight.
