The delivery of quarterly magazine The Didcot Dynamo has been stopped to save taxpayers thousands of pounds a year.

Didcot Town Council leaders took the decision because they feared rising postal costs would leave them facing larger bills.

And with thousands of new homes being built, including 3,300 at Great Western Park, the cost of producing the magazine was expected to rise.

Instead, the Dynamo, produced by town council staff, will now be online, which means it will be updated more frequently.

Since 2004, the magazine has been sent to about 10,000 homes in the town, but staff switched to an online format earlier this month to save an annual bill of £15,750. It will still be available if requested and the council has budgeted £5,000 from April to pay for those paper copies.
