Speaking on Ryde Regeneration Plans, Cllr Jim Moody says, "Rather than milking Ryde, the County Council would be better employed fighting much more strongly for money that the Island deserves to receive from national budgets."
Campaign for the Protection of Rural England on the Isle of Wight (CPRE IW) say "it's highly disappointing to see developers now attempting to destroy what remains of one of the Island’s few remaining dairy farms, separating Ryde from Nettlestone"
