A Conservative councillor has resigned from the Isle of Wight Council after six years.

The resignation of Gary Peace means a new representative will be required for Ventnor and St Lawrence and that could mean a by-election.

Mr Peace was first elected to the authority in May 2017 and has represented Ventnor ever since.

Under the Conservative administration, the former Scotland Yard detective, was a cabinet member for digital transformation and community safety.

He helped the council respond to the Covid-19 outbreak, when the pandemic first hit in 2020.

Mr Peace was a member of the Isle of Wight Council’s harbour and licensing committees.

He has been contacted for comment.

Meanwhile, the council’s Conservative group is in the process of electing a new leader, following Cllr Suzie Ellis’s decision to step aside.
