The government's Culture Minister Oliver Dowden has been on the Isle of Wight for a visit.

Tapnell Farm was on the agenda for the Secretary of State - including a turn on the go-karts.

Tourism organisation Visit Isle of Wight said it was 'delighted' to welcome Mr Dowden to the Isle of Wight.

Its managing director Will Myles, tweeted that they would talk about 'all things tourism'.

This visit comes in the same week as an announcement that many fear could see Channel 4 privatised.

Oliver Dowden said reviewing the way the broadcaster is owned would “help make sure Channel 4 keeps its place at the heart of British broadcasting and level the playing field between broadcasters and video-on-demand services.”

The government's plans have been faced criticism - including from Sir David Attenborough and the British Broadcasting Challenge campaign.

The naturalist signed an open letter urging Mr Dowden not to dismantling public service broadcasting in the UK and asking "to stop short-sighted political and financial attacks" on the broadcast media.
