On behalf of the Indie team in the Palmers Lane newscage, and beyond, I would like to wish all our readers, subscribers, advertisers, followers and supporters a happy, healthy and harmonious 2026.

While the narrative nationally is of a seemingly increasingly separated society, we will continue to seek out the stories in our community that show there is more that connects us than divides us.

Later this month, we will be hosting our 7th annual Indies Community Awards, highlighting the people who help to make this little part of the planet a good place to live.

To help us to continue to provide our news and information service throughout 2026 and beyond, we invite you to take out a year’s digital subscription to the Indie, which gives you access to:

+ an online page-turning version of our weekly paper each Wednesday
+ the ad-free Premium version of our website
+ all the other titles in the Iliffe Media Group, including the Cambridge Independent
+ national news via the Press Association
+ sudoku puzzles

All this for less than 53p a week (for first-time subscribers and gift subscription buyers only).

Use the offer code HALFPRICE at https://www.bishopsstortfordindependent.co.uk/subscribe and pay £27.45 for the next 12 months.

Thank you

Paul Winspear, editor
