Is Time Really Up For The Greenwich Times? New Report Suggest So

by Benson Agoha | Woolwich

The Greenwich Time, Royal Borough of Greenwich official weekly publication may be off the shelves soon, according to revelation by 853 blogger Daryl.

It is not the first time that rumour of an imminent stoppage of it's publication has made the rounds. In March 2015, a petition was started by some people to stop its publication, but on that occasion, the Council vigorously argued for its continuation, with the Leader of the Royal Borough threatening to head to Court over the issue.

On this occasion however, Greenwich Council has reportedly agreed to stop it's publication later this year.

Although The Leader of the Royal Borough of Grenwich, Cllr Denise Hyland had planned to go to court to defend the paper, the Council has now agreed to comply with laws restricting local authority publications to four times a year, beginning from June.

According to Daryl, a Department for Communities and Local Government spokesman said: “We have agreed that Royal Borough of Greenwich will be fully compliant with the Publicity Code from the end of June 2016, settling the matter without having to go to court.”
