Nine councillors, led by former chairman of the Scrutiny Committee have called in the decision made by the Isle of Wight council Executive earlier in the month to consult on school places.
Newport Parish Council were concerned that three schools in their area may have been left without school crossing patrols from September following budget cuts from the Council due to Government cuts in funding.
Chaired by former executive member, Cllr Paul Fuller, and including the former Leader Cllr Bacon, the new Scrutiny Committee gathers tonight to scrutinise the proposed budget for 2017/18.
