It will be coupled with a local community website as well so that could also carry affiliate ads to raise revenue as well. I'd like to see the split between ads and news at about 50/50. The more ads we get, the more news and views etc we can include.
Yes I think there was a mag produced. I think it was called the BB5 Guide. Never actually saw a copy myself and I hope I'm not offending anyone here but I believe it wasn't that good.
What I really would like to know is what would you all like to see in such a magazine? Obviously we could have a section on local facilities eg council contact numbers, health centres etc. All suggestions welcome and thanks again for the encouraging comments.
Matilda.

I think info on volunteer services would be good to have in the magazine
There are a lot more services available than people know about
Short courses and taster sessions for those out of work.... or top up training sessions for those in work
Although a lot are available local they are not easy to find out where and when
