For several years the council’s corporate communications team produced the Wire magazine for residents three times a year at a cost of £64 000. 

The magazine was stopped in spring 2011 as part of a range of budget proposals to save in the region of £22m in the 2011/12 financial year.

The magazine relaunched online in March 2012 and it contains all the latest news about the town and will provide updates about council services and initiatives. It costs a just £3000 or so annually to produce.

Like the old Wire, the digital version will also come out three times a year - in March, July and November.

The first edition of the e-mag is available to view now below or you can subscribe and get it mailed directly to their inbox, hot off the press!

A small number of printed copies will be made and distributed to libraries in Warrington and placed in the public areas of council buildings.
