Isle of Wight Council faces key votes as MP criticizes plans to replace local governance.

The Isle of Wight Council will vote on ten key decisions this week, including an anti-poverty strategy, the sale of a former school site, and bus travel policies. MP Joe Robertson criticizes government plans to replace the island's council with a mainland authority, arguing the proposal is undemocratic and ignores the island's unique needs. Councillors seek transparency on the potential reforms and their impacts on local governance.
