• “Nice one WHN and here’s to another 500 issues!”
• “… a proper little community paper, celebrating all the positive happy stories as well as covering any news.”
• “Brilliant front page montage.”
• “We love the White Horse News, we read it from cover to cover. Thanks for a good local paper which is very helpful and informative.”
• “Westbury is very lucky to have its own independent local paper. The WHN is always full of useful, relevant and interesting articles about our town.”
• “The best freebie newspaper I have ever received.”
• “I like the White Horse News… full of news and information and advertising all relevant to Westbury and surrounding area”
• “A first class publication, I have had the pleasure of meeting and being quizzed by their reporters and I have to say, they were accurate, impartial and nice people… Long may it continue and it puts a lot of other publications to shame, that’s for sure.”
• “The best free newspaper I’ve ever read, by a long way. Here’s to the next 500”
• “I also wish the White Horse News every success in the future. They have served the town well.”
• “Well Done WHN!”
• “This is a terrific paper for news locally, always well balanced, non biased reporting from the WHN. This is the only free paper I have ever come across where the majority of people actually look forward to their next copy. As ever I will carry on advertising with the WHN as I’ve always found you get a better response when advertising with them, unlike other papers.”
• “A good local paper”
• “Congratulations to WHN and of course to the team as well!”
• “Congratulations on 500 issues of the White Horse News over 20 years”
• “Congratulations to WHN for 500 superb editions!”
Thank you to all who have supported the paper over the years and helped the White Horse News – one of just a handful of independent newspapers left in the country – run as a success for so long.
