This week Shepton Mallet Nub News has celebrated its first birthday.

It's been a fantastic 12 months growing our readership, our family of Nubbers and our presence in Shepton Mallet and surrounding villages we serve.

The Nub News mission is to put "your town in your pocket" - making reliable, trustworthy local news easily accessible on all devices, but particularly mobile.

Nub News is unique in that provides local businesses, organisations, charities, schools and sports clubs a platform to self-publish their own news and business listings.

Using the Nub It buttons - found on the home page for news and local listings page for the business directory - is quick, easy and, of course, free.

All submitted content is moderated before going live by our experienced team of journalists - no fake news guaranteed.

If you want any advice or guidance about self-publishing or want to talk to us about a news story then email [email protected].

And, don't forget, Shepton Mallet Nub News also features live travel and weather information, classifieds, properties for sale and jobs - all localised to the area.

You can follow us on Twitter @SheptonNubNews or look for Shepton Mallet Nub News on Facebook.
