Advertising material

Description

Warwick District Council is legally required to advertise its planning applications to its local residents across Warwick, Leamington, Kenilworth and surrounding areas on a weekly basis in the Public Notice section of a paid for publication. Currently there are 3 main newspaper distributors in the that cover the Warwick district: The Leamington Courier Series (Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth); Observer (Warwick and Leamington); Coventry Telegraph (including the Warwickshire Telegraph). Only the Courier and Coventry Telegraph are paid for papers, but the Courier has higher readership levels for Warwick District and is also specific to the individual towns, as opposed to the Coventry Telegraph which is primarily focused on Coventry or Warwickshire in general. For this reason the Courier is the preferred paid for paper for public notice advertising in Warwick district. A reduced negotiated rate has been obtained from the Leamington Courier newspaper for public notices and other types of advertising such as Entertainment and Run of Paper. Planning adverts are procured weekly, with advert sizing changing each week, dependent on the number of planning applications. Other advertising is procured on an ad-hoc basis. There is no commitment to purchase, the only agreement is the negotiated rate.
