Annual Report

Councillor Stephen Hendry – Osborne Ward

 

We have now reached the midway point of the current Council. I remain thankful for all the support that I have received from the residents in Osborne in the last year.

 

The cost-of-living crisis has impacted us all and am I doing my best to support and represent the residents of my ward. It is always a pleasure to meet and help as many residents as possible with a variety of issues.

 

Last year saw the announcement of a potential Film studio coming to Osborne. In principle I support the idea, however, the planning application will need careful looking to minimize the effort on the local ecology.

 

We still await the completion of the Saunders Way link road. When the road does open, it will cause knock-on effects on the surrounding roads that need to be mitigated.

 

The land at Crossway is still included in the draft Island Planning Strategy as an allocated site for housing. This has gone quiet since the election; however, I will continue to monitor any future developments. 

 

I continue to sit on the Policy and Scrutiny Committee for Children's Services, Education and Skills which I enjoy.

 

Aside from my Council duties, I am involved with the community by participating in various activities. I remain on East Cowes Town Council where I have just reached my 10-year anniversary. I am the Chair of Governors at Holy Cross and a Governor at Queensgate.

 

Although I do not hold regular surgeries as such, I will make myself available at any time to help with any problems residents may have, should the need arise. The best way to contact me is via email, at stephen.hendry@iow.gov.uk.

 

I am proud to represent Osborne on the Isle of Wight Council and will continue to give my best in the forthcoming year.
