Sheffield free newspaper

[general_head]

6er is a good little paper, Mercury is good too, but the Sheffield Journal is terrible as is the Gazette..

They don't bother delivering it here any more, maybe the paper boy just dumps them all in a skip & saves us a job.

see if they have a website and email them?

We used to get it fairly regularly but haven't seen more than a couple in the past 6-8 months.

 

It's ok for a free paper I guess ... (if I ever see one again that is)!

Why? I don't expect it's improved, if it never gets delivered then it saves a bit of space in my blue box & saves me the trip from the letter box to the recycle bin. I expect my paper boy is just being efficient, taking all the waste paper straight to the recycling bin & pocketing the cash, job well done.

Most of that goes right in the bin for us. As well as free local magazines and the green paper with the sports results.

 

Bin, bin, bin.

 

If I wanted the paper, I'd subscribe to one. We used to have a sign on the door saying no free papers or whatever, they seem to come through ten fold after that.

We used to get Gazette but they stopped to deliver it about year ago. We have Leader but two weeks ago they changed it and now it's more about adverts than any news. It should be freebie for communities but I can hardly find something interesting in it. Lately I needed to find church services through Easter but also this info disappeared.

The Eckington Leader used to be a good free paper but it is now just a joke! It even resembles the Sheffield Star masthead, with numerous house ad references to the Star, poor content .... consisting of about 16 pages ... don't know why Johnson Press bother?

Yesterday a friend gave us Sheffield Gazette, today we got Eckington Leader. Comparing them we found 80% of articles in the Leader are the same as in Gazette. Nearly nothing for area of Eckington, Halfway, Killamarsh...

Look local is a great little free paper. I read every word on the obituary page every week. It provides a moment to reflect upon the special people who I love and care for. The letters page is usually ok sometimes hilarious. Great gardening section. There is only a handful of news items but that's fine. Can't knock it
