Cllr Paul Bertie (Cowes North)

Paul Bertie is the IW Councillor for Cowes North, and was first elected in May 2013 and then re-elected in May 2017.

ABOUT PAUL
Paul and his wife Diane have lived in Cowes for many years. Owning his own locally-based company, Paul has the flexibility to serve as an IW Councillor — setting aside time to meet with residents and represent their concerns.

Paul’s commercial experience is extensive and he wants to ensure that a business-like approach is taken to decision-making at County Hall. Great strides have been made in recent years but he believes that more can be done to use public resources as effectively as possible for our area.
