Island Labour Reveals Candidates For Isle Of Wight s Local Elections
By Iona Stewart-Richardson
Island Labour has revealed its candidates ahead of May’s local elections.
Islanders will go to the polls on 6 May, to vote for their local councillor.
Now, a full list of candidates has been revealed.
Island Labour Chair, Richard Quigley told Isle of Wight Radio: Very few people are happy with the way the current Conservative administration have managed the council over the last 4 years. A constant reduction in services coupled with increased council tax bills isn’t helping anyone, but its not good enough to say “vote for us because we aren’t the Tories”. We need to give people a reason to vote Labour.
