Rossendale Free Press


The Rossendale Free Press is a weekly newspaper that covers the geographical Rossendale Valley and Uplands published in Chadderton, Greater [Manchester, England] with news coverage centred on the four main towns of Rawtenstall, Bacup, Haslingden, and Ramsbottom and surrounding villages. The paper is a weekly and comes out on a Friday although it is available in the shops on Thursday. The editorial offices in Rawtenstall closed following the consolidation of MEN Media's operations in central Manchester in May 2009; all their titles moved to Chadderton on the outskirts of Oldham in September 2010.
It is published by Trinity Mirror.
