The Sevenoaks Post is an independent local news and information site for Sevenoaks and its villages, built from public records and official sources, always cited.

The Sevenoaks Post is an independent news and information site for Sevenoaks and the surrounding villages. Our aim is simple: tell people what is changing in the district, and make the everyday local information they need easy to find.

How we report

Most of what we publish comes from public records that anyone is entitled to see but few people have time to read: planning applications and decisions from Sevenoaks District Council, open crime data from the police, sold-price data from HM Land Registry, school inspection reports, and official alerts on flooding, weather and roadworks. We turn those records into plain-English stories and we link to the original source on every one, so you can check the facts for yourself.

We use software to help us monitor those sources and draft routine updates quickly, the same approach the large regional publishers now use, but the facts always come from the named source, never invented, and anything sensitive is checked by a person before it is published.

Images

Where we use a photograph we either took it ourselves, licensed it, used an image supplied to us for that purpose, or used an openly licensed image, and we credit it as required. We do not republish other outlets’ photographs.

Corrections

We would rather be accurate than first. If you spot an error, email hello@sevenoakspost.co.uk and we will put it right and note the correction.

Who we are

The Sevenoaks Post is published by Future Business Media, a UK media company. We are not affiliated with the council or any other body we report on.
