Westham Village Voice launches Friday 31 March.
We have had a number of expressions of interest from Westham based advertisers, so we are going ahead with the publication of a new hyperlocal monthly broadsheet newspaper because we think a broadsheet newspaper for Westham could provide some useful profile for the village.
The newspaper initially will be a four page full colour broadsheet, starting in exactly the same position as the Journal, here in Pevensey Bay, nine months ago.
We see the same reasons for commercial viability as with the Journal. We do see something unique about the broadsheets, the fact that they are ‘hyperlocal’ is their greatest strength, done to a good standard they have an attraction to local people, because they become part of the stakeholder case for each locality.
In relation to the preservation of precious community assets, regeneration and investment issues and the promotion, discussion and celebration of key community aspects of a locality, they are some kind of small winner.
The fact that the content comes from inside each community, appears to be some kind of small winning formula.
Welcome Westham Village Voice.
We have also suggested that it might be a good idea for Vines Flowers in Westham High Street to order a few more of those teapots.
