Sally Perry is Co-founder, Editor and Reporter at Isle of Wight News from OnTheWight.
Sally has been recognised nationally for her in-depth coverage of the three-week occupation of a factory by workers. As Journalism.co.uk commented at the time, “[they] gave the national and local media a run for its money with its comprehensive coverage of the industrial dispute".
She also received an award for her dogged persistence in highlighting the plight of landlocked Ventnor Undercliff residents following a major landslide (over 200 articles in four+ years).
As well as covering local democracy and holding those in power to account for their decisions, OnTheWight is a champion of The Arts, regularly celebrating the creative talents of Islanders.
Despite former-councillor Eddie Giles previously insisting there was no link between Eurovia receiving planning permission for their proposed asphalt plant and Island Roads being able to deliver their contract, a comment from Eurovia seems to suggest otherwise.
Having been Chair of Governors during the tumultuous time of change at the troubled Cowes school, Alan Wells is to be replaced, citing a change in personal circumstances for the decision.
We understand they could do with some more support, so why not treat yourself to a night out of great Island music and help with another push of fundraising for the Lottie Rann Trust.
