Pilot edition of Chesterton News published in December 2011 was well received. This project brought together Chesterton's churches, community centres and local volunteers to form an editorial team backed by Chesterton Community Association and provide the volunteers to deliver into East and West Chesterton. Provided the backing for the first Chesterton Festival and developed it into an independent Chesterton Festival Committee to run future festivals.
