Pull shown by Northern community (4)
I believe the answer is:
town
'community' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'pull shown by northern' is the wordplay.
'pull' becomes 'tow' (tow is a kind of pull).
'shown by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'northern' becomes 'n' (abbreviation e.g. N. Ireland).
'tow'+'n'='TOWN'
(Other definitions for town that I've seen before include "Won't be about population centre" , "Person employed to make public announcements" , "SECOND PART OF 17" , "Borough" , "Tinsel- is sometimes applied to Hollywood" .)
