A localised edition was published from 1980 to 1984 and from then titled the Oundle Standard.〔(Peterborough Standard ) Newsplan, Libraries and Information East Midlands (retrieved 2 June 2008)〕 This amalgamated with free title the New Classified (established 1981) in 1983, briefly publishing as the Classified Standard.〔(New Classified ) Newsplan, Libraries and Information East Midlands (retrieved 2 June 2008)〕 Having expanded to publishing and printing 11 weekly newspapers in the East Anglia region, the publishing side of the business was sold in 1989.
