Eastleigh mayor June Welsh says she's delighted with the Daily Echo's new edition serving the railway town and Chandler's Ford.
The presses are rolling to bring you all your local news from the twin towns plus coverage of issues from Fair Oak and Bishopstoke.
Mrs Welsh, an avid reader of the Daily Echo, said: "I have personally been a reader of the paper many years and it does keep you up to date with all the local issues.
"Eastleigh is not part of Southampton and we like to be thought of as separate from the city. It's nice that Eastleigh and Chandler's Ford will have their own local news each day. I am looking forward to seeing more local issues highlighted in the paper."
