Coming soon, Patch is putting neighbors and news on the same page — here’s how:

  • It’s a fresh new take on the local news you love.

We redesigned Tolland Patch from the inside out so you can find what you need faster and enjoy a smoother experience all around – at your desk, on your tablet or phone, and from your inbox.

  • Now with more stories from Tolland.

We’ve also added more local voices to the front page. Now, you have dedicated reporting from Patch, plus the latest know-how and opinion from neighborhood bloggers – all in one place.

  • Introducing Boards – an easy new way to connect with your neighbors.

These super-simple message boards make it easy to communicate and make things happen as a neighborhood — whether you want to post a big announcement, sell something or just speak up.

  • More to say? We’ve made it easier to start up your own blog, too.

Now you can start your own blog anytime, and become a local voice your neighbors can rely on. And for those of you who already blog with us, we’ve streamlined our tools so you can reach a bigger audience in fewer steps.

Join us on April 2 to experience these new and improved features for yourself. You can also ask any questions — big or small — by emailing Senior Regional Editor Elissa Bass at elissa@patch.com.
