A circulation war is in prospect in a Northamptonshire town with three local newspapers all competing for readers.

The past month has seen the launch of the Corby Extra as a fortnightly publication in the town, together with the decision by Johnston Press to take the Northants Evening Telegraph weekly.

Now a third contender is set to enter the ring in the town in the shape of The Corby Eye, whose founders say they want to focus on ‘good news’ about the town.
