Newsquest is launching a new edition of the Bucks Free Press to provide news to Buckinghamshire towns and villages abandoned by Reach as it closes newspapers covering the area.

The new edition will ensure Amersham, Chesham and Little Chalfont are “still represented”. It will be published for the first time on 8 February.

Reach revealed last week that it is closing the Buckinghamshire Examiner & Advertiser, blaming “a continued decline in local print advertising” that its said meant “some print titles have become unsustainable”.
