About Wroxall
Wroxall Parish Council was formed in 1984; before then the village was a ward of Ventnor. We have a shop, incorporating a post office, Wroxall Primary School, an active community centre and The Star pub that can be the starting or finishing points for glorious walks to or from Ventnor, Shanklin, Whitwell or Godshill.
Farming still goes on around Wroxall, but the community is diversified with commuters travelling daily to and from Ventnor, Shanklin and Newport, retired residents and others who work in some of the small enterprises found in the village. A new primary school was built in 1986. The railway closed in 1966, so today we rely on Southern Vectis bus route 3 (Newport-Wroxall-Ventnor-Shanklin-Ryde) which operates half-hourly through most of the day. Visitors come to Appuldurcombe House to see Capability Brown’s ornamental gardens. Just north of the village is the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary. There are a variety of Holiday cottages, bed-and-breakfast and Appuldurcombe Gardens Holiday Park.
There are vacancies for councillors to serve on Wroxall Parish Council, which will be filled by co- option.
If you wish to make an application please contact the Chairman, Cllr Adrian Gallop, at
Barn Court Farm, Redhill Lane, Wroxall, PO38 3ER or
[email protected]
with a resumé of what you can offer to the village, and be prepared to attend the next meeting on the 2nd
Monday of each Month at 7pm at the Methodist Church Hall, High St, Wroxall.
