KentOnline has seen a huge growth in visitor numbers over the past 12 months.

The number of people visiting the site soared by more than 36%, making the KM Group the fastest-growing online regional publisher in the country, according to the latest audited figures.

KentOnline recorded an impressive 451,185 users each month during that period. Nearly 24,000 users visit this site each day - up a third on last year.

Editorial director Ian Carter said he was delighted with the figures.

He said: "We're really pleased to be reaching more people than ever before and that the website, combined with our newspapers and radio station, mean we can provide unbeatable coverage of Kent."
