You can support our online newspaper by making a contribution, no matter if it is big or small, it will help us to keep our news services free to access 24/7.

Most people do not realise that it takes lots of cash to provide a regulated news service that actively tries to help the local community. We love our community and we want our work to reflect that by keeping our news content free to access. For many years we have strove to keep our online newspaper this way, a model that means our reporting is open to everyone to view, without a paywall.

Even though we are a local publisher, that is online, we have huge costs to deal with. It costs lots more than most people think, but you can help us if you think we do a good job. Please do make a contribution, if you still think local journalism counts. The more we get, the longer we can keep running without the need to add any paywalls.
