COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT FORMALLY PRESENTED
The Isle of Wight Council’s annual report — highlighting services, projects and achievements in 2018/19 — will be formally presented by council leader Councillor Dave Stewart today (Wednesday 24 July).
Councillor Stewart will introduce the document during his report to the Full Council at County Hall, Newport.
The report features highpoints and progress across a range of council activities, including improvements in Children’s Services receiving an Ofsted recognition with a ‘good’ grading, as well as regeneration projects such as the Newport Harbour redevelopment.
Councillor Stewart said: “The annual report is designed to give Islanders a flavour of the many activities and initiatives we are undertaking on their behalf — and I would encourage people to take a good look so they can see for themselves what we have been doing.
“Throughout the year we have tried to keep residents up to date with all that is going on — and the annual report brings many of these things together in one document.”

Councillor Stewart said: “At the heart of our record of achievement remains our ambition to deliver our strategic vision ‘for the Isle of Wight to be an inspiring place in which to grow up, work, live and visit’.
“As leader of the council, my personal ambition is also to ensure that the commitments we have made to our local community at the time we were elected to serve remain at the heart of our decision-making.
“We will continue to: provide sound financial management; deliver economic growth and prosperity; preserve our environment; protect our community; plan for our future needs; and create opportunities for all.
“The report includes some clear measures of success for each of the council’s main priorities and how we are performing against those measures, demonstrating to Islanders that we are on track and in many places exceeding our targets already.”
