The News reports on local businesses Le Bajo Milk Bar, Small Batch - Roastery & Cellar Door and Lisa-Marie Parker Vocal Studio
Plus lots about dogs, our first ever "Spot the Difference" for school holiday distraction, The Centre: Connecting Community in North and West Melbourne Inc.'s 2020-21 Annual Report, news on what will replace Spring Fling Street Festival in 2021, looking back on local history, plus all the courses and activities on offer through to the end of the year.
Our volunteer team of distributors are busily getting 7700 newspapers into local letterboxes. Of course, the paper is online too: http://centre.org.au/nwm/latest_edition/ and you can check out to back issues.
