We will keep bringing you value every week

There is never a good time for a price rise.

But today, your Rutherglen Reformer has increased 10p in price.

This is an unfortunate side effect of a rise in production price, but you can be assured this decision has not been taken lightly.

Our readers will never be taken for granted and your loyal support continues to be appreciated.

This is only our second price increase in the past four years and we will ensure you get value every time you buy our paper.

Every week we strive to bring you the best news, features and sport from across the local area.

We will continue to hold our elected politicians to account and keep a close eye on council decision that have the greatest impact to residents. This week’s paper is no different. On page eight we give you a break down on what next year’s council budget could mean for you.

Turn to page nine and we highlight concerns from residents living in the block of flats where a potentially deadly blaze was started last week.

Our packed letters page give readers the chance to have their say on the issues that matter to them.

And our eight-page pull out of your snow pictures will be treasured by parents and grandparents alike.

On top of that, we have a brilliant exclusive promotion for our readers – where you can get half-price travel anywhere in Scotland with Scottish Citylink.

And if sport is your thing, we have five pages packed with the most extensive coverage of our local teams.

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