Comments and feedback have come from around the community about the launch of the first hyer-local broadsheet in Sussex for any small network of villages in the county.
Mary Forster, a senior citizen who has lived in Pevensey Bay for eight years, told Bay Life on seeing the launch issue, “the illustration, that is the first things that people see, it is not like any other newspaper that you can buy.
“In the first place, the cover is attractive because it is quirky, the surprise inside is that they do not know that it is local people writing”.
Publisher, Dianne Dear said, “the newspaper is for both residents and visitors. A production newspaper of this kind has never been seen in Sussex.
“We are one of the hidden jewels in the Crown of Sussex. Bay Life campaigns and supports local community activity. We celebrate all that is best about our local communities and online we are independent in our views, analysis, approach to local issues, controversies and questions about key issues like regeneration and the protection of our precious community assets.
“This is your newspaper. It has been written by and for people living in and around Pevensey Bay, a regular news review of the Life and Times of Pevensey Bay in the Digital Age.
“Your own newspaper, here in the Bay, to browse at your leisure in the sunshine, in the cafe, to watch the local world wishing they were here”.
