Less And Less Local Newspapers Delivered Door To Door Service - Have You Noticed This?


Today, I received an email from Pauline, Vice-President, Mount Druitt Commuters Improvement Group Inc, has confirmed speaking to Mount Druitt- St Marys Standard, Sales Manager Giles  on the 12th March, 2015, that there are suburbs that they do not provide door-to-door delivery of their newspaper:
  • Willmot
  • Shalvey
  • Bidwill
  • Lethbridge Park
  • Blackett 
  • Tregear 
  • Emerton

Other suburbs within Mount Druitt, may be considered privileged suburbs receiving door-to-door delivery of newspapers

The issue here is there are community members that may not have access to online newspapers and do want to keep up with local news, advertisements and sports. I was wondering if the local advertisers are aware some suburbs are not being reached!

Maybe, we do not know the reason why they do no not have this essential service as it could be that there aren't enough people employed to deliver these newspapers, limited amount of published copies or various other reasons.

Personally, I have a total high regard for both local newspapers:  both editors and journalists, as they do the hard work to keep the community informed and educated.

I would just like the Editors of both our local papers, to consider the requests of the community to have improvements in door to door delivery or avenues were the community knows where in in each suburb their newspapers could be collected?
