For general information about the Midlands' focus features and the Midlands Property Blog contact Lisa Pilkington, Midlands' editor, Lisa.pilkington@estatesgazette.com

It's that time of year where we turn our attention to what the next 12 months will bring and with that in mind, I give you our latest Focus features list for 2012.

Now we already know where we'll be heading for our regional focus features, but what would you like us to write about? We usually put together all the features ideas and issue a synopsis 6-8 weeks in advance of publication dates, so, now's the time to put your thinking caps on.

I shall be turning my attention to everything West Midlands from mid-December onwards (slightly earlier because of the Christmas break) ahead of the Focus in March. If you have a burning issue or topic that you think we must cover then let me know by emailing me at lisa.pilkington@estatesgazette.com

For ideas outside of the Midlands please email egfeatures@estategazette.com Please also feel free to contact me about Scotland ideas as well as the Focus desk on the above email addresses.

We're just checking the oil and pumping up the tyres on the Focus tour bus ahead of our first Focus receptions in January - keep an eye out for a list of provisional dates and our new reception landing page where you'll be able to register to come along.
