Mid Wales Journal

A bit of news to announce... after 15 years I'm leaving @MNAmedia on July 31, and therefore standing down as editor of the @MidWalesJournal and @SouthShropJourn. I've taken voluntary redundancy - I haven't got another job lined up but I've got lots of exciting ideas to explore!

Please share

We also have a special report on our livestock markets and farmers markets across Mid Wales and south Shropshire have been thriving despite the coronavirus crisis. See this week's @MidWalesJournal for the full story

We've got round-ups in this week's @MidWalesJournal from all our local communities about the efforts being made to help those in need during the coronavirus crisis. They include talks held in Kington (which took place before social distancing rules were tightened up...).

Delighted to say this week's @MidWalesJournal and @SouthShropJourn are out. They are packed with community news in a week when society has been turned upside down. So proud of all the efforts made by all involved to get these papers out #buyapaper

📣 A message to #Powys visitors from @James_Evans91 📣 We'd normally welcome you, but please DON'T visit us during #COVID19 Full statement 👉 bit.ly/39gxOR4

I'm now working from home but the show goes on - this week's @MidWalesJournal and @SouthShropJourn are out. We'll keep doing all we can to keep everyone informed of the latest news - whether it is latest announcements or the efforts of communities to help those in need #buyapaper

Morning everyone! It's been a whirlwind few days for everyone... but this week's @MidWalesJournal is out! We'll be doing our very best to keep readers updated, not only about coronavirus and the impact on society but other local news too #buyapaper

Morning all - at county hall today for planning committee - as it’s a regulatory committee it can’t be held remotely #LDReporter

Gym users and instructors in Kington got on their bikes for a spinathon to raise more than £700 for Sport Relief. Full story in this week's @MidWalesJournal and @SouthShropJourn

A delegation of councillors in Knighton visited Bicester in Oxfordshire to see technology that would be used in a community bank if a deal can be struck with @banccambria. See this week's @MidWalesJournal for the full story.

Here's this week's front page: * More cases of coronavirus confirmed (& the number has gone up since we went to press). * Welsh Government Health Minister Vaughan Gething visits Llandrindod Wells Memorial Hospital. * Neolithic-style tomb for ashes plan for a site near Llanidloes

On a lighter note, we have the story of Nathan Mansell. Nathan, who has autism and studies in Presteigne, has found his "hoppy" place after becoming an award-winning rabbit breeder. It is a heartwarming read.
