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.
A public meeting is being held on Tuesday (17th) at 7pm in East Cowes to discuss concerns about a proposed Asphalt Plant on the banks of the River Medina.
Cllr David Whittaker doesn't want to join either of the scrutiny panels that vacant seats, so the council will not have to decide whether they want to offer them to him afterall.
