We are looking forward to digitising this!

The Fife Free Press and The Glenrothes Gazette
The Fife Free Press would be very popular here because not only does it cover the largest town in Fife but also lot's of town's and villages surrounding Kirkcaldy.The Glenrothes Gazette although only been in print since the 1950's would be of great interest to residents of Fife's newest large town and also the surrounding villages.

Gary,
Thank you for your suggestion. The good news is that The Fife Free Press, & Kirkcaldy Guardian. fits with our criteria for inclusion. 1900 – 1945 have been added to our digitisation plan. Hurrah!
Please note that due to a huge number of titles and years on our digitisation plan, it is extremely difficult for us to say when the first issue will make it through the ‘digitisation sausage machine’ and on to the British Newspaper Archive.Regarding, the Glenrothes Gazette, unfortunately due to copyright and IPR restrictions (and that’s provided we have an agreement in place with the publisher!), we can currently only digitise up to the early 1950s. For that reason, we’ll have to leave out the Glenrothes Gazette as a possibility for digitisation.
Best wishes,

Irish Tribune
This was the first newspaper printed in England for Irish Catholics. Published weekly by Charles Diamond in Newcastle upon Tyne between December 1884 and December 1895, the Irish Tribune claimed a readership of 4,000,000 Irish Catholics living in England, mixing local Catholic and Nationalist news, with tales from Irish history, fiction and fashion. The British Library holds almost 600 editions of this key source for the study of Irish Catholics in England in the nineteenth century.

Hartland Chronicle
This paper covered Western Devon and North Cornwall with local detail not included in the Western Morning News, Connishman & Cornish Telegraph, Devon & Exeter Gazette and Western Times (and others). OK, so there are already a lot of papers covering the South West, but perhaps you can squeeze in just one more?

Leigh Chronicle
Exceptional Lancashire newspaper very rich in historical content c/w special detailed feature sections on local industries and historical contributions by local historians. Also has an annual 'Diary of Local Events' which lists the key events of the previous year. I've spent hundreds of hours reading this publication and can vouch for it as being essential local reading. It ran from c. 1857 until the early 1960's.

You have covered some of Essex but the papers focus on Chelmsford and Colchester. I would love to see more from smaller towns

Hi Jane
Thank you for the suggestion. We have investigated this title and have some good news for you – Halstead Gazette fits with our criteria and The British Library have sufficient holdings! We have now added it to our lengthy digitisation plan for the years 1857-1871. We have had to limit to 1871 due to current copyright restrictions with the rightsholder.We aim to get the best geographical coverage of the UK and will of course continue to add titles from all regions of the UK – including smaller locales.
Please keep an eye on our newsletters and social media pages for updates on titles which are newly added to the British Newspaper Archive – i.e. truly hot off the digital press!
Best wishes,

Aberdeen Herald
This would be a fine complement to Aberdeen Journal, giving a different political stance.
