Cllr Chris Whitehouse shares this 2017 council election news. Ed
As the Isle of Wight Council published the full list of candidates for the elections to the Council to be held on 4th May, Councillor Chris Whitehouse, who faces no less than five opponents in his Newport West Ward, called for the election campaigns to be conducted by all parties in “a respectful, polite and decent manner”.
Speaking today, Cllr Whitehouse (Conservative) went on to say:
“Let’s hope that this time around candidates can show each other mutual respect. We can disagree on policies and priorities, but let’s leave the mud-slinging and name-calling behind with the old Council and see if politics on the Island can be conducted now in a courteous manner.”
