Local News, Connecting Communities

Watton and Wayland Time

A Passion for Local News

The Watton & Wayland Times is proving there is still a need for printed, hyperlocal news, in the world that Social Media aspires to dominate and rule.

Fighting Deprivation

Not everyone has access to the Internet nor owns the ubiquitous smart phone. If you can’t join in, you cant take part.

Fighting Social Isolation

If you don’t keep up with the technology, you lose access to the information, news and services everyone needs.

Fighting for Inclusion

Loneliness and isolation are widespread. Accessible local news reconnects you with the wider community.

It Could be you!

You may not appreciate it yet, but you will most probably get old. Even at the age of 50, memory may decline, complex concepts might be harder to grasp, and thinking can slow down. These changes pose obstacles when learning new technology, simple tasks like online banking or app installation can be daunting.


The recent decline of printed news impacts democracy, community awareness, and the availability of reliable information. Local news that is accessible to everyone is crucial to ensure that everyone in a community can continue to be able to join in and take part.
