LETTER: Sad news

Today I went to buy my copy of the Lewes edition of the Sussex Express.

I was surprised to learn that Smith’s will no longer stock it. I have been buying the weekly paper for years without any problems. I see from the outside of the shop Smith’s is celebrating 225 years in business this year, a business that was founded on selling newspapers.

I will be interested to learn why this decision was made.

Yours in sadness,
