A record month saw news page impressions on our website countypress.co.uk top two million for the first time in November.

The final tally of clicks on our stories was over 2.2 million, 97 per cent up on the same month last year.

But we couldn't have done it without our loyal readership, who have supported us during this difficult year.

Paper sales have held up well too with more than 15,000 County Press's being bought each week — making us the biggest selling weekly paper in the UK.

The County Press's news coverage has obviously gone down well with the Isle of Wight during the second lockdown and our team has been working day and night to bring Islanders the best news coverage.

But we couldn't have done it without you, the readers and whether in print or online, you have been consuming news like never before.

On top of the news, sport and information, we have introduced new features such as the We Grew Up on the Isle of Wight Facebook group, which provides brilliant pictures, stories and memories for the paper and website, and now boasts nearly 4,000 members; our Trader of the Week and Pub of the Week slots, supporting Island businesses at this tough time; and the Isle of Wight County Press Camera Club on Facebook, whose members produce wonderful images of our beautiful Island.

Alan Marriott, County Press editor, said: "Throughout the year, the County Press team has been engaging with Island businesses and individuals and help and support them.

"I would like to thank the Island population for its support and hope we have been producing content that has been engaging and informative."

As well as Alan, the Isle of Wight-based team includes CP stalwarts such as Lori Little as head of content, Jon Moreno as sports editor and news reporter and Kate Young as community content editor.

Earlier this year Lucy Morgan joined as audience and content editor to enhance the online offering.

The team also boasts BBC local democracy reporter Louise Hill, who reports on council and NHS matters and supplies other news outlets with stories, as well as Island-educated apprentices Liam Chorley and Dom Kureen.
