Isle of Wight councillors met in person tonight (Wednesday 26th May) for the first full council meeting since the 2021 election.
Catch up with our live coverage below to see who took power at the council for the next four years. Would it be the Conservatives with their 18 seats or a coalition of all other councillors.
Change to style of coverage

Worsening osteoarthritis in both hands means that I am now limited in how long I can type for and on what device. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I cannot hold my smartphone for very long, let along type to the speed and length that I could even a year ago. Although you won’t see verbatim reporting, I will continue to report the pertinent points from the discussions, for those unable to follow video stream.
