Hi ,

We're proud to announce that our latest investigative project is coming out next week: Are Councils Working?

Our latest series, to be co-published with The Herald, will shed light on key issues surrounding local government and what that means to services, communities and our quality of life.

Each Ferret journalist has taken a different topic and explored an issue related to it. So, get ready for a week of insightful and exclusive information about councils and democracy.
If you are not a member, you can become one. And by using the code Sale10 you get two months free membership, no paywall!

Help us continue making independent investigative journalism, from the global to the local.

Warm wishes,
The Ferret
