| A number of things occur to me about this issue. Firstly, to the best of my recollection the Conservative kept Around Ealing going for the period they ran Ealing Council. Secondly, the Council have a statutory responsibility to inform residents of certain things and this magazine probably fulfills these which means that closing it wouldn't save that much money. Thirdly, although most like me probably dispose of this magazine unread it probably is the best way to reach the elderly who don't use the internet and are not able to get a copy of the local paper. All that said the magazine and the Ealing News Extra site do seem to be trying to be a source of news rather than public information. If they stopped doing that they could easily reduce the costs and make the operation less contentious. |
