Project Vernon developments provide a very newsworthy subject for the local Portsmouth newspaper, The News. With a mix of subjects in each article, covering local people, maritime heritage, property development, fund raising for a worthy cause, Royal Navy connections and many more, we are grateful for the support of this popular media organisation, producing coverage in both the traditional printed tabloid form and online.

Articles, mainly by reporter Matt Jackson, have been published regularly, covering various milestones of the project:
