A Local newspaper with real punch

A local newspaper with a difference. About local issues, about national issues, about hard news.

We don’t think “Fluffy Kittens rescued on A303” is a news story. If you don’t either then you should read our newspaper for a change!

The Leveller® reports on how life in our community is affected, whether that’s decisions made at Huish Episcopi Parish Council, South Somerset District or Somerset County Council or Westminster.
