That the Parliament congratulates the team at the Lennox Herald for winning Weekly Newspaper of the Year at this year’s prestigious Scottish Press Awards; considers that this award is testament to the hard work and commitment that the team at the Lennox Herald has put into delivering hard-hitting local news; understands that local newspapers are the backbone of communities and have been a much-needed source of reliable information and comfort for many during the pandemic; believes that it is vitally important to protect local journalism at all costs, as the sector comes under threat from a lack of funding and a shift to digital news, and wishes the Lennox Herald every success for many years to come, as it continues to provide residents in Dumbarton, the Vale of Leven, Helensburgh and the surrounding area with their news.
