THE Durham Times is one year old - and what a year it is has been.

A quick glance at the front pages reproduced on page 10 and 11 illustrates how the fledgling newspaper has not been short of news to report.

Council reorganisation, the debate about the market place statues, the proposal for a lap dancing club and plans for the development of Mount Oswald golf course are just some of the important stories our reporters have worked upon.

Most gratifying has been the relationship with our growing band of readers, who have welcomed the Durham Times' arrival and also made it the focus of serious debate about the issues mentioned above and many others.

We accept there is room to improve the Times further, with more news from the villages outside the city centre and better reporting of the city's vibrant sports scene. Before our next birthday, we will be endeavouring to do this and would welcome any other suggestions for improving our service.

As we celebrate our first anniversary this weekend, the Durham Times would like to thank readers and advertisers for their support.
