The Western Herald is here to stay!

The Western Herald is back on the streets for 2018, despite heavily publicised stories that the paper would be closing indefinitely.

New owners have purchased The Western Herald, and the paper is back in circulation 3 weeks before the usual annual start-up.

The first edition for 2018 has been produced by a skeleton crew over New Year – led by Ash Keenan – son of former long-term editor Michael Keenan.

We trust you enjoy the first edition of 2018 and we look forward to your contributions throughout the year.
