Direct Local Magazine We pride ourselves on publishing unique, relevant content which is researched by our team and supported by news from around the local area including sports and community groups. Our aim is to provide an entertaining magazine that allows businesses to promote themselves cost effectively within the local community. This glossy, topical magazine is an exciting alternative to monochrome local papers, but is much cheaper than most of them, therefore allowing the affordability to advertise on a monthly basis and the opportunity to build a significant local profile.
