There are in fact seven local newspapers in England that are closing. The Reading Post, GetReading and the Wokingham and Bracknell Times are to close along with the Surrey Herald, Surrey Times, Woking Informer and Harrow Observer. http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/trinity-mirror-close-seven-regional-newspapers -loss-50-jobs They are all part of the Trinity Mirror Group. The focus will instead now be on providing online content. It's a sign of the times but is perhaps inevitable. Debbie

We also lost a local free paper recently the Hereford Journal. I don't know if it is part of the same group or not.
