First word

roducing a magazine that
you want to read is my
Pprime objective. I hope you
will find the varied content in this
issue both interesting and
stimulating.
Nationally, political events
have been rather turbulent recently
and the saga of the most propped-
up hospital in the country
continues (see p 6). With a new
chancellor looking to cut future
spending some fear the project is
at risk. Please add your voice to
the campaign now.
Cutting your energy costs is the
theme of Dean Baker’s Round the Bend article on page 12 and the
Prudent Pensioner is back with an economic, nutritious soup on p55.
Based in Heacham, KL1 Radio will be on DAB from this month.
The team of presenters have been in place since the launch of the
station two years ago and they promise exciting times ahead. (p52).
November’s diary can be found on pages 60-61 and there are three
competitions for you this month. Turn to pages 18, 65 and 76.
