Send us a news story

Know something happening in Alton or the villages around it? A planning row, a new business, a charity doing something brilliant, a road closure, a school achievement, a council decision that affects you — we want to hear about it. Fill in as much as you can below and it goes straight to the Wey Valley Radio news team.

You can attach a press release, poster or photo. Please only send pictures you have the right to let us use. We read everything we receive, but we can’t promise to broadcast every story.

We’ll use these details to look into your story and get back to you. We may broadcast what you send us, but we won’t name you unless you’ve said we can. Your details stay within the news team. Your story is stored on our website and in our newsroom system and emailed to the team; we keep it for up to 12 months after we’ve finished with it.
