The results show that every day an average of 5,892 people visit the website to find out about the latest news, sport and events in the north Norfolk region.
The website is also a portal for anyone seeking jobs, property or motors in north Norfolk, and its companion social media pages on Facebook and Twitter have become vibrant forums for community discussion.
