The first formal meeting of the Isle of Wight West and Central Wight Branch took place on 12th July, 2018 at the Memorial Hall in Freshwater.

The following officials were elected:

  • Richard Steele, Chair
  • John Watkins, Secretary
  • Janet Page, Treasurer

Branch aims
The aims of the branch are to welcome all Labour Party members in West and Central Wight to monthly meetings to understand, discuss and attempt to resolve issues affecting people living in these areas. In addition a current political topic will be chosen for discussion each month.

Given the current situation in Westminster, it is important that Labour Party members are ready for an early general election where their participation could see a Labour Party MP being returned for the Island.

Next meeting
Venues for the meetings will alternate between the Memorial Hall in Freshwater and another more central venue which has yet to be finalised.

However the next meeting is scheduled for 6th September at the Memorial Hall in Freshwater from 19:30 to 21:30.
