An editor is looking ahead to the next decade after his hyperlocal title marked 10 years in business.

South Leeds Life, a founding member of the Independent Community News Network, has marked the milestone.

The title started out as an online blog in late November 2010, but has published a monthly newspaper since December 2014.

To mark a decade in business, editor Jeremy Morton spoke to ICNN last month.

He said: “When the first lockdown started in March we weren’t sure if there would be any news to print, but the world didn’t stop and we kept going day by day, month by month.

“We’ve carried public health information, reported on the volunteers keeping families fed, and given you ideas to keep active a busy.

“We had to adapt our distribution as schools, doctors’ surgeries and community centres closed to the public. We linked up with the hubs distributing food parcels who kindly added a copy of the paper to those parcels.

“We made sure every care home and sheltered housing complex got a supply and we are grateful to Middleton Asda for letting us put one of our paper bins in their store.

“These ten years have been quite a ride, brought to you by a host of volunteers. Here’s to another ten years of South Leeds Life.”
