Councillors
Mr John Vere Hobart
Welcome to My Website
I have been serving on the Isle of Wight Council as Member for Carisbrooke and Gunville since the election in 2009. (re-elected in 2013) During that time I have been involved in a wide range of issues in my ward, working closely with the Newport Parish Council, and serving on a number of committees.
I serve on the steering comittee of the AONB, the Licensing Committee and am Local Authority Governor of Christ the King College, sitting on the SACRE forum. I am also a Friend of Carisbrooke Castle Museum who supply such a wonderful service to Education on the Island.
I am currently a member of the Newport Parish Council Planning Committee, Newport Rivers Group and the Allotments Committee.
I am always available to those living in my ward, and I can be contacted about any issues or concerns that may arise. I am more than happy to meet up and discuss problems in the village and it's surrounding areas.

I studied agriculture for 3 years at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester, I gained further experience in Southern Africa before returning to the UK to work.
I currently live in Sandy Lane, Whitecroft, with my wife, Kate, and our two sons. Prior to that we lived in Gurnard where I served as member of the Isle of Wight Council. Before that we lived in Cowes where for a number of years my wife and I ran the family hotel business. Whilst in Cowes I served on the Cowes Town Council from its inception.
We are very happy to have now moved back to central rural Wight, to the area where my family lived and farmed for over a century,and where my brother still lives. |
