Trusted news is more important than ever before and as our community pulls together during this second national lockdown, we want to ensure you can still enjoy your regular newspaper.

You can now subscribe and read your newspaper in full on desktop, mobile and tablet. You get your first month free and will also get access to the IM News app.

The app features all of Iliffe Media’s local newspapers, including our sister titles the Bourne Local and the Rutland Times, and an impressive archive, alongside a range of digital crosswords and sudokus.

Mercury editor Kerry Coupe said: “There has never been a greater need for trusted, local journalism and we hope this will make it easier than ever to access it.

“Our journalists are continuing to work hard to keep you informed during these difficult times, but we need your support too to ensure we are able to continue to serve and fight for our community for years to come.
