Regional publisher Archant scored a series of double-digit circulation increases for its weekly titles in the latest ABC figures.
Average circulation figures for the period July to December 2016 saw Archant-owned titles top the league tables in both the paid-for and free weekly categories.
Best-performing paid-for was the Ilford Recorder, which posted a 25.2pc circulation rise compared to the same period the previous year, although almost half of its copies were distributed free.
Including only weekly titles where 100pc of the copies are paid-for, the Newsquest-owned Knutsford Guardian comes out on top, with a 23.3pc rise.
In terms of free weeklies, two of Archant’s North London titles top the list, with the Wanstead and Woodford Recorder up 41.2pc and the Islington Gazette up 17.9pc.
Newsquest’s Advertiser series, which circulates alongside daily flagship The Northern Echo in the North-East, also performed strongly, with the Durham. Chester-le-Street, North Yorkshire and Consett-Stanley editions all showing circulation growth.

Misleading headline here, yes the Archant London papers have shown growth but the core weeklies in their main areas in Norfolk have all but imploded with the Yarmouth paper down almost 7% and the Lowestoft paid for dropped to little over 9,000 copies with the two main county paid for papers in the low 4,000s

Where can I locate recent circulation figures for Johnston Press weeklies now that they’re not included in the ABCs? They seem very hard to find, which I’m sure isn’t deliberate.

I agree with the last comment. I see the Rotherham Advertiser and Barnsley Chronicle have taken a bit of a beating. What about the Doncaster Free Press?

When I posted my original comment, I was hoping that someone from Johnston Press could tell me where these circulation figures are available. Can anybody tell me?
