The Vintage Xmas Market in Yarmouth this weekend not only has 30 creatives selling their wares in a heated marquee, but there'll be mulled wine, Christmas carols, Alpacas, a steam truck and more

In response to Steve Cowley's letter, Daniel James says the solution being proposed in the current council consultation is the best offered to date

Steve Cowley says smaller good schools like Yarmouth Primary will still deliver a good education where they are supported socially and financially by local communities

A show of hands at the Yarmouth Town Council meeting last night voted in favour of closing Shalfleet Primary school. A governor said the Isle of Wight council had put 'a gun to their heads'

Steve Cowley says he believes the relocation of Yarmouth School is "Isle of Wight Council grabbing money for the wrong reasons"

The council say the recommendations now being taken forward are "felt to provide the best opportunity to secure long-term educational and financial stability for West Wight families and schools"

After the earlier withdrawal of plans to close at least one school in the West Wight, they are back on the table and will be voted on next week.

Residents near the Cowes floating bridge may wish to keep flood protection installed as a precautionary measure, say the Environment Agency.

Cllr Brading said he did not expect the news of the Governors decision to be in the public domain, but that they can do what they want.

In a letter sent to parents, governors said they had come to the decision following 'frank conversations' and 'a very painful meeting' with Isle of Wight Council representatives.

One of the campaigners said they still have confidence in the governors to maintain as their primary concern the welfare, progress and outcomes of the pupils by opposing the proposal to relocate Yarmouth Primary School.
