Since the mid-1980 Mot Juste has been publishing a range of residents magazines for local authorities in London and the South-East. It all started with Hounslow's "Borough News", a top-down council newspaper, that we immediately changed to a magazine format under the new name "Your Houslow", reflecting the change of emphasis.​

​

Later this extended to campaigns for South London boroughs with declining high streets. Even before the move to online shopping, some of London's high streets were suffering from a decline in footfall, where others seemed to be thriving. Our campaigns challenged local people to "discover" again their high streets.

When local government finances dried up, as was the case in the London Borough of Croydon, its local Town Centre Management team was wound up. Mot Juste created a legacy document so that local businesses would benefits from the lessons learnt.
