Great news! From today you can get your Mercury a day earlier.

All the best news stories and sporting action in your favourite local paper will be out on Wednesdays - produced by your dedicated Mercury team.

Plus you'll also get an extra day to plan your week ahead and weekend activities with our brilliant What's On leisure section.

Editor Bob Bounds said: "We hope readers will enjoy getting their Mercury a day earlier. We'll still be bringing the best local coverage from across the area on the events and issues that matter to you."

"The Mercury is well-loved by its readers and advertisers who I'm sure will like getting their hands on the paper earlier in the week to keep them right up to date with what's going on in this great area."
