The Bury Times is a local newspaper that has seen so much slimming down over the recent years that it became positively anorexic. Newqust, the American owners, have decided to get rid of some of the key staff and moved practically all the rest to their Bolton office. The printing of the BT won't be affect the lads at the Bolton press because it has been closed down they have been made redundant and it is being printed somewhere in Wales!! Meanwhile the Bury Times is being printed in Glasgow!!
Newsquest own over 300 local newspapers and this is not the first instance of them cutting back and it won't be the last, so if you work for Newsquest it may be a time to start looking for a new job.
My mate Simon has set up a Keep The Bury Times In Bury group on Facebook and it has amassed over 700 members and still rising. Members include MPs MEPs journalists PR people and many ordinary people local and abroad. search it out on Facebook for lots more info.
