In this fourth video of candidate interviews, Simon asks “What’s your view on Ventnor going plastic carrier bag free and is there anything that the town council can do to help it succeed?”
Candidates are all in favour of the move, but warn that we should ensure that tourists are not alienated by the change. It is felt that the Town Council should lead by example and we should certainly look further into how the town of Modbury in Devon made their transition to plastic carrier bag free so successfully. There are clearly lessons to be learnt from past experience.
