Welcome to The Townsman: Home of Morley’s News

We believe that every community needs a quality, in-depth and trusted news organisation, that celebrates, reports and informs the community on important issues, whilst holding people, business and local government accountable.

How To Navigate:

Home Reports – Focuses on general interest stories occurring around our proud town, whether that’s a personal success story about one of our neighbours, a new business opening down the street, or something that has happened around the corner.

Counterpunch – Offers our readers, a more casual, tongue-in-cheek commentary section, where our columnists write on a range of topics that are odd or irritating, you can expect to read about phone scammers, smelly food on public transport and the effort it takes to get an NHS dentist these days!

The Trickledown – This section takes an issue that is being talked about at the national level, it could be war, global warming, another political scandal, which is analysed and explains how it does, or might, effect our town as a result.

MP’s Corner // The Sportsman – we hope to bring, as often as possible, coverage on MP’s Corner, a report on what our local member of parliament has been getting up to and what they have been working on for the benefit of our community.

The Sportsman will cover updates and stories on our local sports teams, of which play a vital importance to our town, offering entertainment and another reason to be a proud resident of Morley.
