Sandy Belfitt (LD)
I believe in Island
policies for Island people
and I dont think this

the uniqueness of living
on an island. We need a
strong council with fresh

which will encourage
investment and
employment while
preserving the IWs Council and executive
natural beauty.

Clare Mosdell (Con)
I was brought up in

Jacqueline Cook (Grn) Christopher Cory (LD) John Glazebrook (Lab) John Kilpatrick (Con) Linda Pitcher (UKIP) Ivor Warlow (I. Ind) Will Bossman (Lab) John Nicholson (Con) Laurie Tennant (Grn)

I am standing up in my
community and saying
no to austerity cuts, no to
cuts to public services
and no to any type of
drilling or fracking on the
Island. I want to give my
community what it
deserves; a greener,
brighter, better future for
them and their families.
Whether we are lifelong
Islanders or recent
arrivals, no one needs to
be told what a unique
place it is. We have been
let down by our leaders
for too long. The
