Reporting live: Cabinet vote on future of Isle of Wight Fire Service

OnTheWight is reporting live (see below) from the Isle of Wight Cabinet meeting tonight (from 5pm).

The meeting is being held at the Ventnor Winter Gardens and members of the public are welcome to attend. There is a slot at the beginning of the meeting for public questions.

On the agenda
Tonight’s agenda will see Cabinet members vote on realigning the shift patterns of members of the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service – something that has been vocally opposed by those on the front line. See the FBU’s latest release and the council’s response.

The meeting will also hear an update from Leader of the Isle of Wight council, Cllr Dave Stewart, on plans to reopen Undercliff Drive.
