Echo price increase

READERS will have noticed that the price of the Echo has increased by 10p to £1.40.

We understand that the price rise will be viewed by many as far from ideal, but it has remained a challenging time for newspapers and we need to raise our prices to meet many different overheads.

Hopefully many of our regular readers will want to take advantage of the Echo’s latest subscription offer on page 24.

We’d like to thank everybody for their support and we aim to continue bringing the best possible coverage of the local news and sport.
