To that end, we also thank our sponsors, Chapman Stickels estate agents, without whom we could not continue, and we welcome Hadleigh businesses to talk about sponsorship opportunities for 2023.

National events obviously captured the attention but Nub news ensured we captured the local essence and reported events, such as the Queen's Jubilee, subsequent passing, and then the King's Proclamation.

It was quite a year for hyperlocal news as well and these were reflected in the Google analytics, which showed what the most read stories were.
