Spring 2026
It's the time of year to look ahead to new beginnings and there's plenty to be excited about in the next 12 months.
This edition highlights the eye-catching progress being made to our regeneration schemes in our town centres and the continued investment in leisure centre makeovers.
We also break down important news about the Pride in Place national scheme and what it means for several areas across our borough.
Our big interview is with Tom Stocks, better known as performance poet The Chubby Northerner. He tells us about his mission to increase accessibility for arts and culture, among many other inspirational topics.
There's also an overview of a recent inspection of our children's services and what the positive outcomes mean for families across our borough and our wonderful staff.
We’d love to hear what you think of the magazine. Please email Borough Life with any feedback or if you have an idea for a story.
Don’t forget, you can listen to the Borough Life podcast online.
