In our short time in existence here in Hitchin, Nub News has published more than 25 opinion columns from a diverse range of people and groups within our community.

Hitchin Nub News aims to support our community, promoting shops, businesses, charities, clubs and sports groups.

We highlight many of these businesses, organisations and individuals regularly in a feature called 'Up Close in Hitchin' - as well as fascinating opinion pieces from our trusted cohort of Nub News contributors.

And for our opinion section, we've shared columns covering many things - ranging from what a special place Hitchin is, its coffee-shop culture, and praise for our community helping to raise more than £60k for the Canaries.

We've run pieces on businesses in our town, Hitchin's Black Lives Matter movement, politics, environment, history, the Covid crisis, sport, LGBT issues and much, much more from a wide and diverse range of trusted contributors young and mature.

So, if you're new to us and haven't come across us before, here's a few of our opinion pieces for you to take a look at.

Thanks for reading, and, of course, thanks to our brilliant team of columnists.
