The Gills News is an independent newsagent at 10 The Gills, Otley, north-west of Leeds. It occupies the only retail unit on its street: address records for the postcode otherwise list houses, flats and maisonettes, home to around 90 residents at the 2021 census, which places the shop among homes rather than in Otley''s shopping streets. Trade directory listings place it under newspapers and magazines, newspaper deliveries and magazine deliveries, and the business describes itself as offering "the best newspaper and magazines deliveries". It therefore runs delivery rounds as well as selling over the counter.
