THE Bridport and Lyme Regis News welcomed a new editor this week.

Holly Robinson, 28, has joined the newspaper after six years working on another title owned by Newsquest, publisher of the Bridport News.

She was previously news editor at the Wiltshire Times, based in Trowbridge, where she began her career after studying law at University College London.

Holly said: "After six years on a successful local paper where I was brought up I am looking forward to the challenge of working in a new area and meeting new people.

"West Dorset is a beautiful place to live and work and everyone I have met has been very welcoming.

"Both the Bridport News and Lyme Regis News are strong titles in the areas they serve and I am delighted to be joining the team here."
