Welwyn Hatfield Times

The Welwyn Hatfield Times has been a staple for the residents of the borough since 1928 and stands out as one of the few remaining paid newspapers. Originally two distinct publications, it later combined into a single entity and also reports on the neighboring area of Potters Bar in Hertsmere. This newspaper is recognized for its active involvement in various community campaigns, such as the revitalization of Hatfield Town Centre and efforts to preserve the QEII hospital. Additionally, it maintains strong connections with local charities.
