Congratulations from Lucy Wicks

Member for Robertson, Ms Lucy Wicks extended congratulations to Peninsula News on reaching 400 editions on August 15.

"This is a milestone for a community newspaper that has worked hard to give the people of the Peninsula a voice ever since its inception," Ms Wicks said.

"In its first edition, back in June 1999, it was quickly celebrated by becoming the first paper for a quarter of a century to give exclusive coverage to this important region of the Central Coast.

"Since then, its journalists, editors and contributors have endeavoured to convey the heartbeat of the community and raise issues that matter to locals," she continued.

"Indeed, the full title of the publication is the Peninsula "Community Access" News.

"That shows a determination not just to tell its readers what is making news, but also encourage them to engage and build a stronger local community.

"It is an honour to serve the people of the Robertson electorate, including everyone who lives, works and travels on the Peninsula, and I join with this community to say Happy 400th to the Peninsula News," Ms Wicks said.
