About Penny Post

Penny Post is compiled by East Garston resident Penny Locke and covers an area roughly centred on Junction 14 of the M4, from Wantage to Marlborough, and from Hungerford to Thatcham. Penny has been writing her weekly e-newsletter for over 10 years.  Whereas traditional media boosts sales through broadcasting bad and often sensational news, Penny is committed to sharing positive, local ‘news you can use’ and is reassured by the popularity of Penny Post that this is what people really want.

We offer local news, events and activities (for adults, teens and kids) in the community, as well as monthly columns from guest writers, local jobs, property, items for sale and business directory, gardening tips, recipes, astronomy, wildlife & countryside blogs, community arts, voluntary groups, security tips, local school news and lots more… all in an easy to read email every week.
