News Central

I'm wondering what the future of News Central, Central Beds' quarterly newsletter is. Communities secretary Eric Pickles has asserted that there will be a crack down on what have been called 'Town Hall Pravdas' (Chicksands Daily Telegraph to give it is local variation) . It's hard to tell how much money will be saved but local government of whatever political persuasion has struggled to get a fair hearing with the local media. There is the added difficulty that the free papers do not necessarily reach everyone and there are plenty of people who are not internet junkies - unlike the parishmatters blogger! So how will people be informed both about what is being done and how they can participate?
