Ventnor Town Council and the Ventnor Carnival Committee are hosting a public consultation evening on Wednesday 4 November at St Catherine’s Church for residents to discuss key town issues.

Residents of Ventnor are invited to a public consultation evening, jointly organised by Ventnor Town Council and the Ventnor Carnival Committee. The event will take place on Wednesday 4 November at 6:00pm at St Catherine’s Church.
This meeting aims to provide local people with an opportunity to hear about important issues affecting the town, ask questions, share their views, and contribute to future decision-making.
Discussions will cover several key areas: the future of Ventnor Carnival, led by the Carnival Chairperson and the Mayor; beach safety arrangements, with input from local seafront businesses; updates on the seafront pumping station, presented by County Councillor for Ventnor & St Lawrence, Ed Blake; and an overview of the Town Council’s current financial position and challenges for the coming year, presented by the Town Clerk & RFO.
The evening will conclude with an open forum, allowing residents to raise any other matters affecting Ventnor and share ideas or concerns directly with local representatives.
