This week's edition of The Staffordshire Signal Weekly is out. Deliberate fires in Middleport, an MP's first column for the Signal, and how to watch the solar eclipse from Westport Lake. Staffordshire's news, written by Staffordshire, for Staffordshire.

Dear Readers,
This week we've got two derelict building fires in Middleport, Adam Jogee's first column for the Signal, and your guide to watching the solar eclipse from Westport Lake without a soggy picnic blanket.
If you've got two minutes spare, we'd genuinely love to know what you think of the Weekly so far. It shapes what comes next, and we read every single one.
A proper bit of news from us this week too, The Staffordshire Signal has been accredited by IMPRESS, the independent press regulator. It means we're now held to the same standards of accuracy, fairness and accountability as titles many times our size, not bad for something that started as one woman, a laptop, and a lot of stubbornness. And tomorrow is our first day of filming with students for The Staffordshire Signal TV, down at Foxfield Railway, so keep an eye out for the results.
Until next Wednesday.
Jenna
