The election showed a fall in support for the Liberal Democrats as the Conservatives gained 23 seats and took over as the largest group with a majority of 22. Following the change in control of the council, Cllr Andy Sutton took over with the promise that every aspect of the Conservative manifesto would be followed as they had indicated before the election.http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/pledge-to-fulfil-election-promises-9139.aspx Pledge to fulfill election promises Isle of Wight County Press 10 December 2009
