The Isle of Wight's taxi trade supported an increase in fares due to rising running fuel, service charges and insurance, but you'll be able to have your say on it .
Last week was a bit strange for me. Firstly I was subjected to personal abuse in the full Isle of Wight Council meeting from several Conservative councillors while they ‘debated’ their awful budget and then I opened the County Press to find myself the subject of Malcolm Mime’s column. I’m not sure when a St Helens Parish Councillor last attracted such levels of interest. I would like to thank Malcolm for reminding readers why I stepped back from the Independent administration in 2017. I have recently been asked by many to set the record straight and so I refer those people to his column.
