In a statement, her family said it was "shocked and disappointed by the shortness of the term".

A triathlon event staged criticised over traffic disruption is to be cut in scale. 

About 2,700 competitors took the UK's "biggest-ever" Ironman event in Weymouth in September. 

Organisers said after a review, the 2017 event - to be held on 17 September -  would not include a 86 mile (140.6 km) route.

An Isle of Wight wind turbine factory has announced it is to create 70 new jobs.

MHI Vestas Offshore Wind is increasing its staff at its blade production facility in Newport.

The Danish company closed a turbine plant in Newport on the island in 2009, axing 425 jobs and sparking an 18-day sit-in by workers.

The company then opened a research and development facility in 2011, where its blades are designed and tested.  

It designs, manufactures installs and services wind turbines for the offshore wind industry.

Most dairy farmers in the UK are losing money as they're not receiving more for their milk than it costs to produce.

It's forced many to diversify as they struggle to balance the books.

Uplands Farm near Botley has started what it believes to be the first vending machine service of unpasteurised milk in Hampshire. 

It costs about 30 pence per litre to produce milk with supermarkets paying about 20 pence. 

The vending machine pours unpasteurised milk straight into the bottle for £1.30 per litre.  

The farm has a licence from the Food Standards Agency to sell unpasteurised milk, sometimes known as raw milk from its 120-strong dairy herd.
