A local paper for public notices where there isn't one
Councils and other bodies that must publish planning, traffic and other public notices in a local newspaper, especially in areas no longer served by one. A possible local title for your area, if it can build readership and qualify under public-notice rules. Nothing can carry statutory notices through us today.

The problem
The law still requires many notices to appear in a newspaper circulating in the area. Where there's no local paper, notices go into papers from neighbouring areas, which the people affected may never read.
What you get
A possible local title for your area, if it can build readership and qualify under public-notice rules. Nothing can carry statutory notices through us today.
Why it matters
- Notices that reach the people in the area they affect.
- A published rate per notice, if a qualifying title is ever established.
- Local reporting produced with AI agents, with every factual claim checked before it's published.

How it works and what it costs
Proposed: a set rate per notice, paid by the council or whoever must give the notice, through your usual purchasing route or agency. No title exists yet and no rates are set.
Where things stand
What's available now
This idea is on hold. We're waiting to see whether the government's review of public-notice rules keeps the newspaper requirement or allows a digital route. If your area has no local paper for notices, emailing us helps us decide.
What we're still working out
Whether the public-notice rules will change, what a new title must show before a council will use it, and whether a digital-first title could qualify.
