The weekday briefing
Every subscriber gets the briefing: one email at 7:00, Monday to Friday, with five stories from the valley. It takes three minutes to read.
- Roads and buses: closures and roadworks today
- The council: what was decided last night
- Weather for the valley, not the whole county
- One business story and one thing to do tonight
Delivery and shops
We deliver the print issue by 7:00 every Thursday to every address in Springfield and the twelve valley villages (sample). Further away, it comes by post on Friday.
You can also buy a single issue for $2.50 in 40 shops, the station kiosk and the market hall (example prices).
Questions about subscriptions
Can I pause my print delivery when I am away?
Yes. Pause it online for up to eight weeks a year; your digital access keeps running.
How do I cancel?
From your account page, at any time. Print stops after the next Thursday issue.
Can I share my digital subscription?
One subscription covers everyone at the same address, on up to four devices.
Is there help if I cannot afford it?
Yes. Ask the subscriptions desk about our free places, paid for by readers who give a little more (sample).
