LIKE others, I was dismayed by the magnitude of your recent price increase. If my arithmetic is correct, a 44% increase, enough to shame a City banker!
My immediate reaction was to cancel my direct debit payment arrangement but on reflection I have decided to give you a few weeks to see if the new Argus does get bigger and better.


So far, I am not convinced.
Perhaps, to improve, you may like to reintroduce the second crossword grid, so that we can attempt both the quick and cryptic puzzles.
Also, while recognising that you are first and foremost a local paper, could you not, in your “bigger” paper, devote one page to national and international news, albeit in a concise, brief format?
Like others, I am not swayed by the “free” (?) daily supplements. I hope you can convince me that the new price is value for money. Having read the Argus daily since 1966, it would be regretful to cancel now.
However, if I and others do cancel, you may well learn the economics of the law of diminishing returns.
