Newspaper deliveries

Newspaper deliveries in Nocton

Those of you who have been used to having their morning paper delivered by D&K News will, I am sure, have been disappointed at the recent ending of this service to the village.

The Parish Council has, however, provisionally agreed a Scheme with D&K News whereby each morning the Newsagent will deliver papers for participants to a secure and weatherproof box outside the Village Hall.  Those residents involved will then be able to wander down at their leisure and take their paper(s). It is intended that the box will be provided with a combination padlock with the number being known only to participants.

It is intended that the Scheme will start on Monday, 2nd February, 2015.

If you wish to participate in this Scheme, then please email me at id.goldsworthy@hotmail.co.uk by no later than Wednesday, 28th January with the following information:
  • Your name, address and contact telephone number
  • Your daily paper(s) and the day(s) on which you would like them delivered
Although residents will, of course be able to join (or leave) the Scheme at any time, for ease of administration in the first week I will need this information by the above date.

I am told by D&K News that it will make a small charge for this service, dependent upon the number of participants.  I will be able to confirm this before the Scheme starts. Paper bills will be issued in the normal way.

Ian Goldsworthy
Vice-chair Nocton Parish Council
