Today we learnt that the government will be approving the petition for the emparishment of the entire Newport area - including Carisbrooke - at the expense of a separate Carisbrooke petition.
As Chair of the shadow body 'Newport Town Management Committee' and one of the Newport petition organisers I am of course pleased at this news. However, I also feel some sympathy for the Carisbrooke petition organisers, who I can only hope will now participate fully in ensuring a smooth transition to democratic Town Council status from May 1st next year.

Great, wonder if Cllr David Whittaker will join you on the new town council. Treasurer maybe?
He will have to be elected first.......
