If all the recession doom and gloom is getting you down, we have the perfect antidote! Good News! is dedicated solely to stories about good news in Merton. There are so many positive, uplifting things going on in the borough every week and, although we do cover a few of them in our news pages, we know that is just the tip of iceberg.
So we want you to send us all your good news. Whether it is a neighbour who helped you out, the success of a local group or charity, a long-awaited reunion with family or friends, an exam success, a silver wedding celebration or the return of a much-loved cat, we want to hear about it.
Email your good news stories to cburnett@london.newsquest.co.uk along with pictures if you have any. We will publish them in this channel, and every week we will pick some to run in this newspaper.
