Each week thousands of people read our articles in the paper and online.
Scroll to the bottom of any page on the Gazette website and you'll invariably find a comment.
Perhaps the responses are more passionate on our social media pages, the debates can get pretty heated - but whatever the forum we welcome our reader's thoughts.
We see our paper as a place to debate and encourage communication in our communities.
That said, for all our modern technology, and our rapidly growing website audience there really is nothing that can beat a letter sent to us to be included in the Gazette letters page.
Although it's more usual for us to received the letters by email than on paper now - this is our reader's chance to have their say about what matters to them.
And it's not just us that enjoy your submissions - quite often the questions and comments will spark a response - providing a conversation between readers who may never have spoken, let alone shared views.

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 The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.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.
