That’s your lot then, in a week in which March announced itself with a bout of glorious spring weather, but occasionally reminded us that we’re still on the cusp of winter with yet more downpours. A week in which 500 people packed into the Town Hall for a meeting about the Phoenix Development. And, rather more gruesomely, one in which 28 parcels containing body parts intended for medical research were mistakenly sent to private homes all over the USA, putting more than one householder off their breakfast after opening the morning post.

We’d like to thank the following people, without whom this issue would not have been possible: Andrew Fitchett, Tom Reeves, Gordon Tyrrall, Ann Spruce, Christine Dunn, Antony Penrose, Arabella Hayes, Nicholas Betteridge, Norman Baker, Miranda Ellis, Sadie Cook, and Duncan Bunyan.
This week’s contributors were: Emma Chaplin, Jess Wood, Emma Robertson, Antonia Gabassi, Dexter Lee, Steve King, Adrienne Campbell, Nick Williams, Scott Chowen, Katie Moorman and Alex Leith.
