This is the most ridiculous nonsense ever.  I honestly think that whoever is doing this needs to be reported to Wikipedia.  How can a local newspaper to Egremont - which is completely free of charge and carries important and relevant stories to the town - be removed?  What possible reason can you have other than "I personally don't like links"?  You are denying visitors to the page a relevant source of information about the town those visitors sought out on Wikipedia because of some petty and childish desire to seem "official".  You really should ask yourself whether removing this link was beneficial to visitors to Wikipedia or whether you just denied them a source of relevant information.
