It’s a newsy council in a newsy patch. We’re looking for someone who can communicate clearly, quickly and in an impartial manner - primarily through writing but also using multimedia skills.

Questions? Drop me an email😇

1) Gloucestershire Chronicle - January 19, 1895
2) Worcestershire Chronicle - July 18, 1896

Councils unable to agree. How things will have changed, I'm sure...

I could spend hours bigging the scheme up but the range of content coming in across the four areas is superb and it's great to see it resonating with the audiences for the Metro titles✨

So this is the scene near Bromyard in Herefordshire, but I ought to introduce myself. I'm a local democracy reporter manager at National World, working with LDRs in Hampshire, Lancashire, South Yorkshire and Sunderland👋

I'm also chipping in with the London, Birmingham, Nottingham and Derby sites
