This week's Isle of Wight County Press is out in shops tomorrow (Friday, June 12), and it features picture spreads, the latest stories from the courts, features, and much more.
Friday's issue features coverage of a visit by Chelsea Pensioners, showcases by Island college Platform One, and a couple of prominent hotels up for sale.
Excitingly, we also have ten family passes to Ventnor Botanic Garden to give away to readers!
The team has been hard at work bringing you the news this week, including the latest stories from the Island's courts and a trial we covered for four days.
We exclusively bring you an interview with Southern Water CEO Lawrence Gosden and the swearing-in of new magistrates.
We also have the regular eight pages of puzzles, three pages of letters and opinion, and a familiar face in our trader in the spotlight feature.
Pick up the Isle of Wight County Press in shops from tomorrow morning.
