Another milestone reached

We are enjoying an incredible ride and it is all thanks to you - our readers and the wonderful companies that support us.

Over the weekend, MyWelshpool welcomed its 5000^th follower on Facebook, showing that we have never been better connected to the people we strive to serve in the local area.

While our promise to you is to deliver the local news as quick as we can and as accurate as possible using reliable sources, the importance of social media has never been more obvious.

Through the day we drop one or two stories onto your news feeds to ensure you are kept right up to date with what’s important to you.

We’ll be six-years-old this summer so we are still young, but it feels like we have been around forever and your support drives us forward.

MyWelshpool and our sister site MyNewtown are for you and it doesn’t cost you a penny. Our dedicated team works 24/7 when required to make our area one of the most connected local communities in the UK.

Milestones like this are what spurs us on. We can’t thank you all enough for your support and, as always, we promise to deliver a first class service free of charge. Don’t forget you can also follow us on Twitter where all of our stories are posted. Almost 3,200 follow us over there too.

In the meantime, we raise a glass to you and here’s to the next 5,000 followers!
