Isle of Wight Council

Hampshire and Isle of Wight residents are asked for their views on plans to merge councils.

Isle of Wight Council previously voted to close schools in Arreton and Cowes due to surplus places.

The closure of Horsebridge Hill resulted in a seven mile (11km) diversion for northbound vehicles.

Crossings between Cowes and East Cowes will start at 04:00 on Saturday ahead of the boat race.

Matthew Westwood, landlord of the Stag Inn in Newport, says he served two people over three days.

Council leaders in Hampshire debate devolution and local government reorganisation.

Independent candidate Becca Cameron also won the Freshwater South council by-election.

The boy missed two terms of education after failings by Isle of Wight Council.
