This week's Teesdale Mercury

Posted on November 29, 2016 by Unknown
The Teesdale Mercury is out in the shops and this week it has a distinctly Christmassy feel, thanks to two lovely photos from lights switch-on events.

This week includes a free 16-page rural life supplement with a special feature on ‘sheepdogs – a farmer’s best friend’ and fears about a ‘bleak Christmas in the uplands’ due to subsidy payment errors.

Here are a few of the headlines in the main paper:

Tributes to dalesman, farmer and friend to many – John Alan Scott.
