At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income. In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However,
rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free.
To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic. The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thank you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time.
Youngsters at Binnie Street Children s Centre got busy collecting leaves for Inverclyde Shed s compost bins. A group of intrepid tots went on an expedition to Gourock Park and managed to collect a lot of material for the project. The autumn leaves were deposited in the Shed s leaf bins and will help make next year s mould compost. Inverclyde Shed chairman Bruce Newlands said the mini horticulturalists did a fine job. He said: This is a great way to encourage wee ones to take care of the environment by keeping it tidy and looking after it. They learned more about the reason for tidying up the leaves, creating the compost, and how it all works together.
