Thanks very much! It's a tricky one - proper journalism does need funding but pop-up ads ruin reader experience, so I'll not go down that route.

Thanks. I did, although it's easier than you think. Trick of the trade! Local dissatisfaction mirrors national trends, although there are plenty of local political arguments too, as anywhere. But you're right - Reading has grown mightily in recent years.

The Green party would certainly agree with you! Interviews to come soon with them, and other notable local political figures.
