Those expecting to hear the decision on the future of the Winter Gardens today will have to wait sometime longer.
It has emerged that Cllr George Brown, the Isle of Wight council cabinet member responsible for making the decision about the take-over of the Ventnor Winter Gardens, is on leave and unlikely to make the decision this week, as many expected.
In an email sent yesterday morning, council leader, David Pugh, revealed that Cllr Brown is actually on holiday at the moment, returning “at the beginning of September”.
The email finishes, “At that time I am sure he [Cllr Brown] will want to fully consider all of the representations made to him before taking a final decision.”
