The Local Edition's first edition is planned for Alderley Edge — a premium local guide distributed to carefully selected households in and around the village, featuring one business per category and QR-tracked response pages to help advertisers understand campaign response.
Alderley Edge is one of the most recognisable residential addresses in Cheshire East. The village itself sits within the SK9 postcode, alongside Wilmslow, and is characterised by a high proportion of owner-occupier households, established family homes and properties that attract buyers from across the region. For businesses in home, lifestyle and professional services, this profile makes Alderley Edge a natural target area.
London Road, the main retail strip through the village, is home to independent restaurants, boutique retailers and professional service firms — reflecting the local appetite for higher-value offers. Many businesses based in Manchester, Macclesfield or wider Cheshire already target the Alderley Edge area specifically because of the household profile and the density of relevant potential customers within a compact postcode.
Local advertising in Alderley Edge tends to work best when it reflects the character of the area — premium, considered, relevant. A carefully designed print guide, delivered to a specific list of households rather than blanketed across a postcode, sits more comfortably with that culture than a high-volume generic leaflet drop. That is the proposition The Local Edition is built around.
The SK9 postcode covers Alderley Edge village, the surrounding residential streets, and borders with Wilmslow and parts of the Macclesfield Forest edge. When the Alderley Edge edition proceeds, household selection will be based on available demographic and property data to identify the most relevant delivery areas within that geography.
The Alderley Edge edition of The Local Edition is a premium, small-format print guide — not a generic flyer or postcard. It is currently in planning, and will proceed once a viable mix of business categories has registered interest.

Delivery areas within and around Alderley Edge are selected using available demographic and property data. The aim is quality of reach over volume — fewer, more relevant households rather than the widest possible sweep.
Each advertiser can use a unique QR code linked to a campaign landing page. After distribution, we share a response summary covering scans, clicks and enquiries where collected. Advertising response is not guaranteed.
※ The Alderley Edge edition is currently in planning. It will proceed once a viable mix of business categories has registered interest. Categories, pricing and delivery areas will be confirmed before any commitment is required.
The Alderley Edge edition is not designed for every business. It is best suited to those where the following apply:
Whether you already trade here, or want to build a presence in the area, the edition is intended for businesses with a genuine local or regional offer relevant to Alderley Edge households.
The guide is designed to feel considered rather than disposable. It works best for businesses whose offer reflects that — home improvement, financial planning, private healthcare, garden design, interior design, quality local services.
QR tracking and post-campaign reporting give advertisers more data than a standard leaflet drop. If understanding response matters to your campaign decisions, that transparency is part of what The Local Edition provides.
Categories are offered on a first-come basis. Once a category is taken, we will not offer it to a direct competitor in the same edition. Register interest early to check availability for your business type.
The following categories are being considered for the first Alderley Edge edition. Once a category is reserved, it will not be offered to a direct competitor in the same guide.
