The Valley Messenger is no longer being published.

Thanks to those in the community who contributed and tried along with us to keep the Valley Messenger circulating.

We still have one local publication publishing news of the Valley. Please support The Independent as they move to a paid newspaper.

Social media platforms are no alternative to the printed press. They have neither the immediacy nor the transparency that a local publication does.

If we lose this last local newspaper we lose accountable newstelling. We lose our local flavour. We lose our voice.

Put your money where your mouth is for $2 per week and be part of the solution and not the problem. You’ll feel better for it.
