WHAT didn't you find out this week? If you missed out on reading the Echo the answer is this: quite a lot.

Because we publish news you can really use - to find out who's building what, and where, who's appearing at the BIC, what your council is planning for your bin collections, or how much to charge you for Council Tax (and what you can do about it) and the best places to walk your dog.

1. If you live in Alderholt, did you know that there are plans in to build 21 new homes at the plant nursery site in Ringwood Road?

2. If your kid attends Queens Park Pre School you'd have discovered the real reason it's been closed for three weeks

3. And you would have learned how to get free kayaking and dinghy sailing taster sessions (because we know that every little helps)

4. We told you where to buy Parma Violet Cider (if you must!)

5. How you can camp under the stars at beautiful Brownsea Island

6. And where to take your dog for the best walks

Catch up on these stories and all the others on our website.

Because, whatever you do, you really don't want to miss out, do you?
