Your News has got something for everybody

Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of the East Kilbride News.

It would be fair to say that nobody likes to see prices going up.

But your News, starting today, has increased 10p in price.

Rest assured, these decisions are not taken lightly; the support of our loyal readers is not taken for granted.

However, a rise in production costs means this newspaper’s first increase in two years cannot be avoided.

Providing value for money is a priority for all companies and the News is no different. We want bang for our buck and we strive every week to bring you extensive coverage of the news, events, pictures and sport that matter to you.

We keep a close eye on what is happening in government – at all levels from local to Holyrood to Westminster – and know our job is to hold politicians of all persuasions to account.

And we also cover the social issues we feel deserve to be in the spotlight and give a voice to those who need one.

On top of that, we have brilliant exclusive promotions for our readers – such as this week’s where you can get half-price travel anywhere in Scotland with Scottish Citylink. Want more? You got it. Every week we run fantastic competitions where you have a chance of winning just by entering.

●There is a £50 gift card up for grabs at EK, East Kilbride.

●Enjoy a slap-up meal with a £50 gift voucher for Di Maggio’s East Kilbride.

And today we add a new competition with two tickets on offer to see a film at East Kilbride Odeon Luxe – Europe’s first luxury cinema.

We hope you agree that, despite this small increase, the News continues to provide great value for money.
