Want something investigated in Kentish Town?

Paul Bradshaw has tweeted this link, from an investigative journalist covering North London's NW5 postcode.

Kentish Town Investigations is intended to fill a void left by "desk-bound journalists" who "do not leave their offices as often as they used to", as well as the decline in resources directed towards long-term public interest investigations.

The focus is on issues with a strong public interest element to them, such as education or health-related stories.

So far, Kentish Town Investigations has interviewed Labour party councillor Meric Apak regarding the government's housing benefit cuts, covered the standards of schools in Kentish Town, looked at the priorities of Kentish Town's Safer Neighbourhoods Team and why only 25% percent of eligible people voted in a recent by-election.

One to watch.
