Celebrating your local newspaper

Hide AdBassetlaw Council’s interim chief executive, Neil Taylor, said: “Local newspapers, like local authorities, are facing challenging times.”
“Both are in a position where we are having to do much more with much less, and are constantly adapting and evolving to meet the different challenges we face. “
“It is a credit to the team at the Worksop Guardian that with ever declining resources they continue to deliver a quality weekly paper.”
Residents and businesses alike recognise the benefits of a newspaper which focuses on local issues.

Hide AdRob Grimes, owner of The Little Sweet Shop on Bridge Street, said: “Local people want local news, they want to know how things relate to their lives.
“Local papers can be proactive rather than political, and work with councils to change things.”
“For small businesses it’s a good way to advertise to people you know are interested - you’re bound to reach a good number of them.”
