Merry Christmas and thank you!

As the year comes to an end, we extend heartfelt thanks to you, our amazing readers and contributors, for making 2023 an extraordinary chapter for our platform.

Reflecting on this year, it has been nothing short of remarkable for All About Newtown.

With over 1,205,700 story views across more than 540 news articles, your eagerness helps deliver our commitment to bringing you relevant, high-quality stories that resonate with the our town.

On the digital front, your support has extended far and wide. Our Facebook page has reached over 29,600 people and our Instagram reach at just over 5,200 people, and we've grown to now nearly 2,000 page likes.

This year, we underwent a significant transformation, transitioning from www.newtown.wales to our new identity as All About Newtown—a not-for-profit community interest company.

We have also proudly joined the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme from the BBC. This membership grants us access to a diverse range of articles, allowing us to cover local governance and civic matters more comprehensively, furthering our expansion.

Our commitment to enhancing community life is evident in the introduction of new tools and features. Whether it's helping you navigate our town, find the best fuel prices, or exploring the feasibility of a local loyalty scheme, these resources aim to make your daily life more convenient and support our local businesses.

As we all approach the end of the year, we want to express our dedication to providing you with ad-free, relevant, and high-quality stories and local information. All About Newtown is not just a news and information platform; it's a community, and we are grateful to be on this journey with you.

Here's to another year of growth, shared stories, and the vibrant community that is All About Newtown. From all of us, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
