"Maintain local village schools as vital centres of the community"
Consequently they swept the board in 35 of the 48 Council wards. Swept the board on what is clearly yet another LIE to Islanders.
Of the 24 schools that are guaranteed to close under each of the 3 proposed reorganisations, I can offer the following list of the local councillors:
Gurnard Primary - Hobart; Love Lane - Brown; Holy Cross - Webster; Greenmount - Taylor; Bembridge - Pigot/McRobert; St Helens and Brading - Joyce; Gatten & Lake - Williams; Chale - Arnold; St Margarets' CE - Scoccia; St Wilfreds RC - Fitzgerald-Bond; Godshill and Wroxall - Wood; Weston - Cameron; Yarmouth - Burt; Arreton and Chillerton & Rookley - Oulton; Carisbrooke CE - Whittaker; Summerfields - Cousins; Nodehill - Cunningham
St Johns CE - Humby; St Thomas' RC - Foster; St Mary's RC - Bowker; Hunnyhill - Price.
All but the last four were elected as Tory councillors. I have asked my local councillor in that list why she is breaking her pledge. I suggest everyone does the same.

But luckily not Pugh or Wells? What an amazing coincidence....
Isn't it. But that's more than half their Group, excluding Cabinet members. If only they could discover their backbones......
Presumably this is why Mrs Swan left the Tory group before Christmas!
Wonder what RSM Sutton thinks?
To his credit, I doubt if this would be happening if he was leader
Then he should speak!
