Join the Debate and Have Your Say with Charlie
At Cannock Hub, we don’t just report the news—we live it with you. News shouldn’t be a one-way street. We believe every resident has a voice, and we want to hear yours.
Charlie, our community lead CannockHub_Charlie, is always ready to dive into the comments and social threads to hear what you think about the issues of the day.
Current Debate Topic: Is the demolition of the Prince of Wales Theatre a price worth paying for a modernised town centre, or are we losing the soul of Cannock?
Whether it’s the traffic on the A5, the state of the local parks, or the national benefit caps affecting local families, you can join in the debate and have your say with Charlie. We provide the platform for you to challenge local decisions and share your unique perspective on how to make Cannock a better place to live.
Why Local News Matters
In an age of global headlines, it is easy to forget that the decisions made at Civic Centre on Beecroft Road often have a bigger impact on your daily life than what happens in London.
What We Track for You:
- Planning & Development: From the new McArthurGlen Designer Outlet updates to the flattening of the old multi-storey car park.

- Community Spirit: Celebrating the Cannock Chase parkrunners, local charity fundraisers, and the “Shop Local” heroes.
