The Isle of Wight Council has decided to refuse the request of the organisers of the Isle of Wight Jazz Festival permission to use Sailsbury Gardens in Ventnor next year.
In correspondance that has been seen by VentnorBlog, Steve Beynon, the council’s Chief Executive, explains that the IW Council had consulted widely to make “an informed decision.”
He goes on to say that following discussion with the council’s leader, David Pugh, they feel that “it is not in the best interest of the community” to agree to the request.
Thanks to Helanbak for the story tip on this.
