New organ in local (4)
I believe the answer is:
near
'local' is the definition.
'new organ' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'organ' becomes 'ear' (ear is a kind of organ).
'n'+'ear'='NEAR'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for near that I've seen before include "Close, not far away" , "Miserly and proximate" , "Approaching" , "Miserly; approach" , "Within reach" .)
