Luisa Hillard was elected as Isle of Wight councillor for East Cowes in May 2013.
Cllr Hillard was a member of the Executive, holding the portfolio for Sustainability until resigning from the post in January 2016 due to family commitments.
A new grant funding opportunity dedicated to supporting sustainable transport projects on the Island has been announced by Visit Isle of Wight and the Isle of Wight Council.
The Isle of Wight Council is inviting expressions of interest in taking over the running of its countryside estate and service – with the aim of protecting and enhancing the existing estate and improving public access and voluntary sector involvement.
The Isle of Wight Council will be funding more than 15 sustainable transport projects under the government's latest Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF).
Cllr Hillard says they are very happy to speak to representatives of local councils regarding services in their area, should they need further assistance in developing their plans.
A fellow town councillor says that if the East Cowes and Whippingham & Osborne councillors vote in favour of the IWC budget as a whole - which includes introducing pedestrian charges on the floating bridge - they will lose the support of their constituents.
Despite the Labour amendment to scrap the proposal to charge pedestrians on the Cowes floating bridge, members (including councillors for East Cowes and Osborne & Whippingham) voted through the new charging proposal at last night's full council meeting.
Independent prospective parliamentary candidate Ian Stephens has been listening to problems the Island's only fuel depot faces and pledges to help find a solution.
