As you read this, advance copies of the November Spurtle are already appearing across Broughton like early voters in a faraway election of which we know nothing.

Issue 345 begins with news and views of something much closer to home about which we know increasingly more. It continues with the proposed sound of silence, a look at the pre-LEZ Old Town and a naked appeal for money.

On Page 2 we feature a fox and a failure to fix, a long list leading to NOTHING, too much or too little bark, various jams and a local samizdat involved with a splash.

Police appeal for information

Police Scotland issued a press release earlier today which we reproduce below unedited and in full.
