We're changing the Marlborough Express and we want your input.
We've been part of this place for 150 years but the way you, our readers and advertisers, operate is changing and we have to change too. Digital audiences are growing fast and revenues for daily papers won't sustain daily papers every day.
So we want to talk about what we should do.
We want to be clear; we're here to stay. But we need to talk about how we secure the future.
Take a look here at some of the issues.
Then we'd love you to have your say. Have it here.

Buses will detour off Major Hornbrooke Rd onto Billys Track and Mt Pleasant Rd back onto Soleares Ave to continue the normal route UNLESS passengers request to be dropped further up the hill upon boarding the bus.
If a passenger needs to be dropped further along the route buses will detour by continuing the normal route up Major Hornbrooke Rd then detour onto Madeley Rd, Bellview Tce and back down the hill along Major Hornbrooke Rd onto Billys Track and Mt Pleasant Rd back onto Soleares Ave to continue the normal route. Please note passengers need to tell the driver upon boarding they need to be taken up the hill otherwise the shorter detour will be run.
Buses travelling towards Russley are not affected. View detour map attached.

We know that when kids are involved in preparing for emergencies and learning about natural hazards, they encourage their families to be more prepared and play a more active role in responding to and recovering from emergencies.
As part of Get Ready Week 2016, we are launching our redeveloped schools resource What’s the Plan, encouraging schools to update their emergency preparedness plans and use the new resource to build resilience as a life skill for their students.
Here are our top tips for Prepared Kids
1. Give the school or day care a list of three people who can pick the kids up if you can’t get there.
2. Talk to your kids in an honest (but not scary) way about what might happen in an emergency, what you can do to keep safe, and what your plan is for if you can’t get home. The more involved they are, the less scared they will be if an emergency does happen.
3. Make a plan with your kids. Sit down together and talk about the things you need every day and work out what you would do if you didn’t have them. Grab a piece of paper and write down what you agree, who you need to contact and things you need to do to get ready.
4. Get your kids involved in getting supplies and checking them regularly. In an emergency you could be stuck at home for three
days or more. You probably have most of these things already, and you don’t have to have them all in one place, but you might have to find them in a hurry and/or in the dark.
