Members of the Isle of Wight council Executive will be gathering at County Hall from 5pm for an Extraordinary meeting to consider the recommendation from the Isle of Wight full council related to Solent Devolution.
Last Wednesday the full council voted to reject the recommendation to stay at the Solent Devolution table to hear what sort of deal would be offered.
Although full council voted against the motion on Wednesday (17 against, 16 for and two abstentions) over 70 per cent of those responding to the public consultation voted in favour of “moving power and funding for the economy, transport and jobs from central government to groups of local councils working together”.
