Philip Evans' statement to Exeter Tribunal Court following closure of View From Newspapers

The founder of the View From Newspapers was Lyme Regis based office manager Philip 'Pip' Evans.

In 2018 the papers faced sudden closure with 29 staff being left jobless.

The background to the reasons for the closure have been the subject of much debate and supposition.

So, after much insistance, we are able to publish the full statement (below) presented to the Exeter Employment Tribunal courts by Philip Evans himself.

This statement gives a revealing insight into what exactly was going on at the time within the Lyme Regis editorial offices that were being overseen by 'Pip' and his team.
