Two Mill investigations have been followed up by the national press this week. Thanks to @theguardian.com for crediting our reporting on both without needing to be prompted.
It’s because of our paying members that we can do impactful journalism like this, which holds local authorities to account.

In February 2013, a British man died while visiting a friend in the US state of Arizona.
For the next 12 years he was unidentified — known only as ‘Maricopa County John Doe 2013’.
This year, thanks to a team of staff and students at Sheffield Hallam University, his family finally have closure.

Over four gruelling days last week, medics were grilled on whether they had done enough to keep 12-year-old Mia Lucas safe.
To her mother Chloe, the answer was obvious.
“We reached out for help during the most vulnerable time in Mia’s life,” she said. “But she didn’t get the help she needed.”
