The local Vectis Party have made a victorious start by securing a seat on the Isle of Wight Council at their first attempt.
Vectis Party Candidate and Party Leader Daryll Pitcher ousted the sitting Conservative councillor and Cabinet Member in Wootton Bridge, Barry Abraham, romping home with nearly 50per cent of the vote.
LUDLOW Mayor Tim Gill is guaranteed a place on Ludlow Town Council. Despite attempts to get more people interested in becoming councillors there will be a vote in just one of the wards. Most of the existing town councillors will be returning although some are stepping down. These include former Mayor Colin Sheward who is fighting the Ludlow East constituency on the County Council. Long serving town councillor Graham Perks continues in the role and will be hoping also to be elected to the unitary council, in a contest that will put him up against sitting Shropshire councillor Andy Boddington, who will be joining the town council. Vivienne Parry continues on the town council and hopes to be returned as Shropshire councillor for Ludlow south.
