At tonight’s full council meeting, Sandown councillor, Ian Ward (Con) is hoping to attract support from other councillors for a motion he’s proposing.
The Motion submitted under Procedure Rule 10 of the Council’s Constitution reads,
I propose that this Council supports an important condition of the Community Covenant that service personnel should not be dis-advantaged because of their military service.
In particular, the Isle of Wight Council should grant its employees, who are service reservists, to undertake their two weeks training (10 working days) without the need to take any of those days as annual leave.
