Local Elections: Meet The Next Generation Of Isle Of Wight Councillors
By Oliver Dyer
Politics seems to be proving popular among the Isle of Wight s younger generation, with a number of teenage candidates announcing their intention to stand in the upcoming local elections.
Several press releases have been issued in the past week from some parties, and schools, revealing the next generation of councillors.
In an effort to be fair, Isle of Wight Radio has contacted each political party on the Island.
Several local councils discussed the event last night including Freshwater, Shorwell and Yarmouth. As reported yesterday, official detail about the date and route has yet to be released by the organisers, and the event has yet to be given the green light by the Isle of Wight Council or safety officials. Concerns from residents are around the safety and community impacts, and whether these have been thoroughly considered. Freshwater Parish Council heard last night that the plans include a four or five day event and a two day mass start race, with motorbikes racing through Brook, Chessell, Tapnell, Freshwater Bay and Compton.
