New Survey
So, the controversial consultation process costing approximately £55,000 (Source: County Press) is now over. I have closed the voting on the old Survey on the site. Here are the final results:-
Do you agree with the Isle of Wight Council’s decision to close 23 Primary Schools?
Yes - 188 votes.
No - 1119 votes.
Don’t Know - 13 votes.
I have created a new Survey to gather your opinions on whether or not you’d re-elect your local Councillor if they voted for these school closures. You can vote on the poll on the right-hand side of the site, just under the list of links.
Don’t worry, there’s no trickery or fooling being done here, there is a simple Yes/No answer!
This week’s Rupert Besley cartoon from the County Press was very good again - thanks Rupert.

Besley’s satirical look at the schools “consultation” and decision has been very welcome. I also appreciated Charlotte Hofton’s witty write-up in the County Press (28.3.08) of the education decision meeting at County Hall (which unfortunately isn’t on the IWCP website - why, CP, why? - so I can’t provide a link). Her sweet shop analogy with DP hogging the trolley was brilliant.
