Looking for a wider audience

A RECORDED newspaper specially produced for blind and partially-sighted people wants a bigger audience.

Harlow Talking Newspaper, which has been running for 22 years, is put together by a team of volunteers who choose extracts from local papers and record them onto tape.

It is received, free of charge, by 150 people in the town every Friday morning.

But at a recent meeting at the Leah Manning Centre, Harlow, chairman Anne Oval said: "There must be more people with the same disability who would like the service."

If you know someone who would like to receive the tapes, ring Anne on 01279 863183.
