NEWSAGENTS are urging west Wiltshire MP Andrew Murrison to support changes to the distribution system for newspapers.

Southwick shopkeeper Kim Harrild, who is also chairman of the Bath and west Wiltshire branch of the National Federation of Retail Newsagents, met Dr Murrison on Friday to discuss the issue.

Dr Murrison said: "I will certainly oppose restrictive practices that undermine the viability of small, independent retailers that are so important to community life in west Wiltshire."
