The new-look Isle of Wight Council cabinet has been revealed tonight (Friday).

It follows the departure of Cllr Karl Love, former lead for adult social care and public health, who remains an independent in the Alliance Group.

Gone from the Alliance are Cllr Chris Jarman, former finance lead, and councillors Dave Adams and John Medland, who are now part of the Empowering Islanders group, along with Cllr Peter Spink, who has left the Conservatives.

Cllr Michael Lilley has also left the Alliance, to join the Liberal Democrats.

The change forced a reshuffle of the council's leading cabinet members, by the Leader of the Isle of Wight Council, Lora Peacey-Wilcox.

Councillor Peacey-Wilcox said: "In carrying out this reshuffle, I am mindful of the fact that the whole council is going through a process of reorganisation and also of the financial situation we are in at the moment.

"As such, I am moving forward with a plan that has been under consideration for some time to both reduce the number of Cabinet members (savings achieved).

"The financial portfolio will now be dealt with by a finance committee, which will be chaired by Councillor Jonathan Bacon, but which will consist of all Cabinet members, all of whom will take responsibility for this essential area."

Meanwhile independent Labour councillor Geoff Brodie is calling for a change to the way decisions are made - and a return to a council structure last seen in 2000.

The revised Cabinet roles are:

Lora Peacey-Wilcox: Leader, with responsibility for strategic oversight and external partnerships.

Ian Stephens: Adult services and housing, including Public Health and homelessness.

Debbie Andre: Children's services, including education and attainment and lifelong skills.

Phil Jordan: Transport and infrastructure, including highways and transport strategy.

Karen Lucioni: Regulatory services and waste, including Environmental Health, Trading Standards, police and fire services.

Julie Jones Evans: Economy, culture and leisure, including heritage and regeneration.

Jonathan Bacon: Climate change, environment and Biosphere and chair of finance committee.

Paul Fuller: Planning, including coastal protection and flooding.
