THE MILL OPENS ITS DOORS

Islington Mill, home of a zillion Salford creatives, is throwing open its doors to the public during July with a series of events, happenings and exhibitions. Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday til the end of the month the Mill will be open from noon until evening, complete with a bar and weird stuff like the strange folk-driven Jackie-O Motherfucker on the 9th and a Moon Landing Party on the 19th. For the whole month expect something completely different and not to be missed.

Star date: 17th May 2021

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

Star date: 16th May 2021

THEY WILL TRY TO DISCREDIT YOU...TO BLOCK YOU, TO SHUT YOU DOWN

We are almost at the final closure of the Salford Star but we write this article as a warning to others who may follow on the pitfalls of founding a genuine publication that aims to give the community a voice and hold public bodies up to account.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
