Where can I get a weekly edition of the Warrington Worldwide. It contains more interest and local news than the Guardian but I can only read sections of it on Facebook.
And why make it free, I for one would not mind paying for it
There is monthly print edition of Warrington Worldwide but it does not contain everything that appears online. There is no weekly edition but there is a daily edition online and if you go to the “News” page you will get all the week’s news – and indeed ALL the news going back indefinitely if you want it. This a better way of getting the local news and sport than using social media. Hope this helps.
