And as an added bonus, those who attend the Wakefield Express stands on these days will be able to claim a series of exclusive deals at some of the city’s biggest retailers.

Members of the West Yorkshire Police NPT will also be in attendance to offer advice and guidance to local residents, as well as answer questions.

Gavin Murray, editor of the Wakefield Express, said: “The past year has been a strange one, and many people have been left feeling isolated and cut off from society.

“Our team are itching for the chance to get back into the city centre and to make some new connections and get to meet up with some old faces.

“Our community days are the perfect opportunity for everyone to reconnect with us their local paper. We can give you and your community a voice.

“We will be also running a series of deals to encourage people to support their local businesses in the city centre.

“We will see you there.”

The Wakefield Express Community Days will be held in Wakefield city centre on Thursday, July 29 and Friday, July 30.
