Bob Seely: ...this question into previous comments about post offices. Some microbusinesses and small businesses are incredibly reliant on post offices and sub-post offices. My sub-postmasters—Andy Smith in Ventnor was the last I spoke to, a couple of weeks ago—are increasingly concerned about the payments regime for sub-post officers. They have asked me to look into several specific instances, and...
Mark Pawsey: ...Emily Scarratt and almost all the former captains of rugby at the school dating back to 1957—will make a global pass to send 200 balls around the UK. They will be going, among other places, to Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, which has a connection to Rugby’s famous headmaster Dr Thomas Arnold, to Wales, to Llanelli, and over the sea to Belfast.
Jo Churchill: ...of Wight. NHS England and NHS Improvement have also commissioned additional clinical sessions in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, including in Basingstoke, Alton, Farnborough, Gosport, Southampton, Ventnor and Bembridge. From April 2021 two new dental practices will be opening in Portsmouth and a new practice is expected to open in Tadley in July. This is in addition to a new practice...
Bob Seely: ..., I thank Sandown & Shanklin Independent Lifeboat and Freshwater Independent Lifeboat; the RNLI lifeboats in Cowes, Yarmouth and Bembridge; the coastguard rescue teams in Needles, Bembridge and Ventnor; and Ryde Inshore Rescue. There is a common-sense theme: a lot of people are engaged in helping sailors, swimmers and others who get into trouble at sea, and we on the Island are very...
Bob Seely: ...for St Ives and I could go back to the ferry companies serving our respective islands and see if they would be generous enough to make similar provision for patients’ visitors. Someone from Ventnor, Cowes or Ryde who was going to hospital in Southampton on the mainland would pay £5 to get to the hospital, but their families often pay full whack on the ferries. That is not cheap. If we...
Bob Seely: Is my right hon. Friend aware that on the Isle of Wight there might be interest in extending the island line to the beautiful seaside town of Ventnor and the county town of Newport—the latter has been made possible in part due to the foresight of the Isle of Wight steam railway in securing track in decades past? Will money be available for feasibility studies to assess the costs and...
Bob Seely: ...Keats’s greatest lines, and was inspired by visits to Shanklin and Carisbrooke. The wonderful eccentric Edward Lear tutored Queen Victoria at Osborne, the Bonchurch watercolourists painted near Ventnor, Julia Margaret Cameron, the wonderful feminist, pioneered portrait photography at Dimbola Lodge, and the Pre-Raphaelites hung out in Freshwater. And today we remain a home for many island...

Andy Sawford: ..., and a parish council. Of course, we are talking about a very large sector where authorities can range enormously in type. There are larger town councils in places such as Weston-super-Mare or Ventnor and other areas with large populations and substantial budgets, which provide significant services. There are also areas where local authorities struggle to fill the number of places on the...
Andrew Turner: .... I have looked at all the possibilities. It could mean either a ferry from Ryde, with a hinterland from Wootton to Arreton to Bembridge, or a ferry from Yarmouth, with a hinterland from Cowes to Ventnor-the southern most point on the island-or from Cowes, East Cowes and Newport. I have to say that all of those proposals are barmy. Experts from the Boundary Commission for Scotland have...

Andrew Turner: ...'s chamber of commerce and rural community council, but our concerns appear to have been completely ignored. When Lowtherville post office closed, my constituents were forced to go to the branch in Ventnor town centre. The road into the town has one of the steepest inclines in the country, so it is virtually impossible for elderly and disabled people to walk down the hill, let alone up it...
Andrew Turner: ...a branch should remain open because of poor transport links, it should be recorded that 3,000 people, and not just one, raised the issue. When we raised a specific matter about the bus service in Ventnor, Post Office Ltd allegedly said it was not responsible for the buses. I accept that, of course, but surely adequate public transport provision must be taken into account by Post Office...
Paul Goodman: ...primary care trusts, the three primary care trusts have become one and the strategic health authority has been widened so that its scope includes places as far away from High Wycombe as, say, Ventnor in the Isle of Wight.
