In the mid ‘noughties’ the UK Decay Communities web resource produced a couple of downloadable ‘newsletters’ in PDF form. They took more the shape of a modern downloadable fanzine and titled appropriately, “UK Decay Today“. At the time the two produced ‘zines were free to members of the website but now to celebrate ten years of UK Decay Communities web resource, they are free to all and can be downloaded right here.
