A Heartfelt Thank You to the Solway Buzz Team
Following the publication of its final edition in April 2026, we want to take a moment to look back and celebrate an incredible milestone. For 25 years, the Solway Buzz has been an essential part of our lives, serving the town of Silloth and our surrounding communities with unwavering dedication.
On behalf of the entire community, we extend our most sincere gratitude to Peter, Kath, and their wonderful team of volunteers who poured their hearts into this brilliant local paper.
📰 A Cherished Community Asset
For a quarter of a century, the Solway Buzz was so much more than just a free newspaper. It was the beating heart of our community, capturing the spirit of our wonderful town by sharing:
- Local News & Milestones: Keeping us all connected and informed.
- Letters of Appreciation: Giving a voice to residents to thank neighbours and friends.
- Stunning Photography: Showcasing the unique beauty of Silloth and the Solway Coast.
- Poetry & Art: Providing a creative outlet for local talent.
💖 An Irreplaceable Loss
The absence of the Solway Buzz will be deeply felt by residents and visitors alike. It is rare to find a publication sustained for so long purely through the hard work, passion, and dedication of volunteers. Peter, Kath, and the team have left a lasting legacy.
To Peter, Kath, and every volunteer who ever helped print, write, or deliver the paper: Thank you for your decades of selfless service. We send you our absolute best wishes for whatever the future holds next! 🥂✨
