From tomorrow you will notice a new look for your Abergavenny Chronicle - which will also be out in the usual outlets but a day early.

Like many local businesses we have had to adapt the way we work as we get to grips with the knock on affects of Covid-19.

We have had to make some major changes to the way we operate due to the restrictions placed on us by the virus.

This has meant turning the big broadsheet Chronicle into a neater tabloid offering, similar in size to our sister paper the Monmouthshire Beacon.

Working as a team we managed to get the Chronicle out in less time than normal and against tighter operating restrictions.

The Chronicle is still the newspaper for Abergavenny however while this crisis is ongoing we will change the way we work so there will also be a more general coverage of stories to include Monmouth.

We hope you will stick with us as we continue to serve our local communities with trusted news from you, our readers.

If you want to write an article, submit a letter or a poem, have a general moan or praise someone who is doing brilliantly at this time, we want to know about it.

Please email me, the editor, Gina Robertson, so together we can get local information out there to everyone who needs it. I look forward to hearing from you all.

Stay safe and thank you.
