BUSINESSES in the West Wight are working together to raise the profile of the area.

The West Wight Marketing Group is developing a leaflet and website aimed at attracting more visitors

Group chairman David Ballard said: "We are out to attract holidaymakers who enjoy doing anything on two feet, two wheels or on the water.

"There is an emphasis on activities and attractions, not just places to stay.

"The priority is to bring new members on board."

He added: "Council budgets are cut, tourist information offices are closed and many new businesses simply can’t afford to join organisations such as the chamber of commerce. We have to co-operate to do this for ourselves."
