Chelmsford City Hub
About Us

Your hub for
Chelmsford life

Chelmsford City Hub is an independent community platform dedicated to keeping residents, businesses and visitors connected with the news, events and stories that matter in our city.

👋 Who we are

Chelmsford City Hub was created by people who are passionate about Chelmsford — its communities, its businesses, its culture and its future. We are an independent, locally focused platform with no political affiliation, no external investors and no advertising agenda.

We believe that local news and community information matters. Knowing what's happening on your doorstep — whether it's a planning decision, a charity appeal, a new business opening, or a community event — helps people feel informed, connected and part of something bigger than themselves.

That's why we built Chelmsford City Hub: to be the place people come first when they want to know what's going on in this city.
