About

Alsager News was established in 2019 as a social media based, local independent news provider. In 2023, the Alsager News website was launched with the goal of delivering free news coverage of the Cheshire town we call home.

Here at Alsager News it’s quality over quantity. Rather than uploading stories every day to get clicks and generate revenue, the objective is to write about the things which matter to you.

If you have a local news story you would like covering, please email alsagernews@gmail.com.
