OmniGOV and support for local news outlets

That this House understands that after the closure of printed newspapers in Harlow, YourHarlow.com became the only remaining news outlet in Harlow constituency; notes the success that YourHarlow.com has had in connecting with the 85,000 Harlow residents with over 5.7 million page views in 2020; praises the hard work of YourHarlow’s editor in producing over 1,000 stories informing residents about the latest coronavirus news; asserts that OmniGOV has failed to support YourHarlow.com; criticises the management of OmniGOV for only supporting print news outlets and not digital-only outlets; further criticises OmiGOV for failing to provide value for money to the Harlow taxpayer; and calls on the Government to take immediate action to ensure that OmniGOV supports YourHarlow.com and to urgently review their contract with OmniGov.
