WHAT DO YOU WANT?
The News is your newspaper. In 2017, we asked what you liked reading in The News, what you didn’t like and if you’d like anything new. We took on board your comments and made many changes, including providing more local news, more human interest stories and more opportunities for you to have your say. We’d like to hear from you again. We will listen!
