About Us

Staffordshire is a proud county with a rich industrial heritage, beautiful countryside, vibrant communities, and hardworking people—from the pottery heartlands of Stoke-on-Trent to the market towns, rural villages, and historic sites across Stafford, Cannock, Lichfield, Tamworth, Burton, and beyond.

Staffs News is your dedicated voice for real, unfiltered local news right here in Staffordshire. We're proud to bring you the local version of GB News — bold, straightforward, and committed to putting ordinary people first.

Our slogan says it all: "Real, Local News for Staffordshire".

​

Who We Are

​

Staffs News exists because too often, national media overlooks or misrepresents the issues that matter most to communities like ours. We see the same gap here locally: stories about hardworking families, small businesses battling rising costs, rural services under pressure, housing developments changing our towns, transport links that need fixing, community heroes making a difference, and the everyday concerns that affect how we live, work, and raise our families.

We're here to change that.

Just as GB News champions Britain's voices, values, and common sense against metropolitan bias, Staffs News champions Staffordshire's voices against distant or one-sided reporting. We believe in fearless, straightforward journalism that asks the questions locals really care about — without spin, without agenda-driven filters, and without ignoring inconvenient truths.

​

What We Stand For

​

• Real reporting — Straight facts, on-the-ground stories, and honest analysis of what’s happening in Staffordshire today.

• Your voice — We want to hear from you: the residents, business owners, farmers, parents, retirees, key workers, and community leaders who make this county special. If it's happening in Staffordshire, it matters to us.

• Common-sense approach — Covering the big issues (planning disputes, council decisions, crime, cost of living, transport, health services, schools, and local economy) with balance, but without shying away from challenging the powerful or highlighting what's working well.

• Pride in Staffordshire — Celebrating our heritage (from the Potteries to the Chase, from canals to castles), our innovators, our charities, our sports teams, and the everyday people who keep our communities strong.

• No-nonsense style — Bold where needed, fair always, and focused on solutions as much as problems.​

​

Why We're Different

 

Mainstream local outlets can sometimes feel cautious or disconnected. National news barely touches Staffordshire unless it's a big headline. Staffs News bridges that gap — delivering timely, relevant coverage with the same spirit of independence and courage that defines channels like GB News.

Whether it's council tax rises, potholes on country lanes, new housing plans sparking debate, business rates hurting high streets, bird flu alerts for farmers, rail service frustrations, or the brilliant work of local volunteers and charities — we’re here to tell the full story.​
