The Ventnor Town Council are anticipating a large audience tonight as the regular meeting is moved from the confines of backstage, to the main hall at the Winter Gardens.
What’s responsible for the move of venue?
Full agenda below, but we suspect items such as the proposed allotments on the East Cliff, works on the Eastern Esplanade, local bus services, an update on the schools re-organisation and discussion around the proposed railings along the seafront might have something to do with it.
As we often say, these meetings are far more interesting and entertaining than anything on the box, so switch off and head down to the VWG for 6.30pm start.
The public have 15 minutes at the beginning to ask questions of the Town Council on any subject.
