David Whistance, Independent candidate for Freshwater North and Yarmouth
My family and I have lived in Colwell for 20 years, and I am standing as an independent because local elections should be about local priorities, careful judgement and putting our community first.
I have run a local business, served as a school governor, campaigned to protect Yarmouth School, helped oversee Island school finances, chaired the Isle of Wight Music Hub, and served on Freshwater Parish Council.
I care deeply about protecting West Wight’s landscape, schools, communities and character, and I will bring practical thinking, careful scrutiny and an approachable, sensible voice for Freshwater North and Yarmouth residents’ everyday concerns.
