About The Antrim & Newtownabbey Post

The Antrim & Newtownabbey Post is a weekly local newsletter focused on what’s happening across the borough, from practical council updates and community news to events, neighbourhood notes, and the people quietly making things work. It exists for one simple reason:

To keep local people informed about local things, without the noise.

What We Do

Each week, The Antrim & Newtownabbey Post brings together the things that matter locally, in one clear, readable email.

That includes:

• Local news and updates that affect daily life

• Council information, kept factual and non-political

• Events and activities happening around the borough

• Community and neighbourhood updates

• Occasional spotlights on local groups, spaces, and initiatives

We focus on useful information, not headlines for the sake of it.

What We Don’t Do

This isn’t a national news feed, a social media echo chamber, or a stream of clickbait.

You won’t find:

• Sensationalism or outrage-driven stories

• Constant selling or spam

• National news recycled and relabelled as “local”

• Politics-by-default

If something doesn’t directly relate to life in Antrim & Newtownabbey, it generally doesn’t belong here.

Our Approach

The tone is deliberately calm, clear, and grounded.We aim to sound like: a well-informed neighbour who keeps an eye on what’s going on locally and shares what’s actually worth knowing.

Short paragraphs. Plain English. No jargon. Enough detail to be useful, never more than necessary.

Community-Led

Over time, The Antrim & Newtownabbey Post will increasingly reflect the borough through the people who live and work here.

Readers are encouraged to:

• Share local events

• Flag community updates

• Suggest groups or initiatives worth highlighting

The goal is not to speak at the borough, but to reflect it.

Independent & Local

The Antrim & Newtownabbey Post is an independent publication. It is not affiliated with the council, political parties, or national media outlets.

Any paid placements or sponsored content will always be clearly labelled. The priority is trust.
