A new political group called ‘Very Broad Church’ has been formed on the Isle of Wight Council.
Cllr Clare Mosdell, former leader of the Isle of Wight’s Conservative councillors, has joined forces with Independent Socialist, Cllr Geoff Brodie.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service understands the Very Broad Church group has been created for ‘tactical reasons’.
Cllr Mosdell, who represents Newchurch, Havenstreet and Ashey ward, resigned from the Conservative group in August last year while Pan and Barton representative Cllr Brodie quit the Alliance group in 2021.
Cllr Brodie said:
“Although Cllr Mosdell and I have opposing views on the best economic model for society, on many of the challenges currently facing the Isle of Wight Council – e.g. budget, local government reorganisation – we agree.
“Therefore, for the remaining three months of our service as councillors we have agreed to form a group for tactical reasons.”
Cllr Mosdell serves on a variety of County Hall’s panels including the adult social care, public health and housing needs, appointments and employment, environment and community protection, harbour, planning and policy, finance and resources committees.
She has also been contacted for comment.
If mosdell has anything to do with anything it will be a total shambles
She couldn’t be trusted to organise the pulling of a Christmas cracker
Ahhh mosdell,the “councillor” who built stables not to plan,and when caught, applied for retrospective,and surprise surprise,it got granted,and when question about it by people on facebook,threatened to send her husband round to have a “chat”with people.
abhorrent woman,doesnt deserve to be on the council in any way shape or form,a self serving tory through and through
apparently brodie is not nice either.
ha ha ha send her husband round – he would no doubt be sent packing with his tail between his legs – losers, the pair of them
Imagine being scared of a DYEL
That’s nice
Still voting Reform
Doesn’t surprise me, numpties vote Reform!
Don’t forget the party is full of Tory Rejects.
Just vote for the real thing, vote Tory.
