Welcome to My Website

John Vere Hobart NEW: View my report as Champion for Heritage and Environment

I have been serving on the Isle of Wight Council as Member for Gurnard since the last election in 2005. Since that time I have been involved in a wide range of issues in my ward, working closely with the Gurnard Parish Council.

As Champion for Heritage and the Environment I serve on the steering comittee of the AONB,The Countryside Access Forum and the Cycle Forum. I am, and have been for a number of years, a Trustee for Island 2000. I am also a Friend of Carisbrooke Castle Museum who supply such a wonderful service to Education on the Island.

I have been a member of the Planning Committee since 2006. I also sit on the Commission for Business and Infrastructure.

I am always available to those living in my ward, and I can be contacted about any issues or concerns that may arise. I am more than happy to meet up and discuss problems in the village and it's surrounding areas.
