Latest Local News

For a number of years and, particulary during the current economic climate, we have seen significant decline in rural areas. Village shops and businesses losing trade to large organisations and on-line shopping. Recently however, we have seen passionate efforts to stem any further decline. Such initiatives as the National Forest, providing regeneration and interest in our area, the The Parish Councils providing support and guidance, along with people’s attitudes slowly changing to adopting a preference for local produce and services.

It is now vital to our communities that we support our local businesses and tradesmen to assist in this regeneration. They provide better and more reliable service, and keep our towns and villages alive.

The What’s Around Magazine has not only helped in establishing a local trading philosophy but also provides an economical option to market your services, increase awareness and generate additional business.
