Key Council Decisions
October has seen councillors debate and approve several landmark projects and policy moves, covering regeneration, environment, and local government reform.
A new Floating Bridge, a tidal sea pool, and the long-term future of the Isle of Wight Festival are among the major decisions made at County Hall this month.
