A NEW online service aims to keep readers up to date with events across the Black Country and north Worcestershire.
The Dudley News is part of a group of newspapers which has teams of reporters covering events from Dudley to Droitwich.
All stories appear first online and to ensure readers do not miss breaking local news from around the region, our editors will be on social media to tweet links to all the top stories.
To get the inside track direct from the newsdesk log in to Twitter and follow @NewsdeskBCNW
Comments: Our rules
We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
Please report any comments that break our rules.
