Sales figures for Trinity Mirror’s stable of regional dailies continued to fall last month according to the latest update by the ABC.

The company decided earlier this year to join the national titles in publishing monthly figures as opposed to the six-monthly schedule favoured by the rest of the regional press industry.

Only the weekly title Wales on Sunday showed a sales rise during June, with its circulation up 7.1pc on the previous month at 21,526.
