UPDATED THURSDAY 08:58*
SENIOR Isle of Wight Councillor Phil Jordan has been charged with drink driving.
He was the executive member for public health — which includes alcohol misuse services — public protection and the highways PFI.
* Cllr Jordan said: "I can, certainly, sincerely apologise to everyone affected by this. I made a mistake, a miscalculation and an error of judgement for which the courts will decide my fate and penalty.
"I have stepped aside from all executive roles as a result of this.
"In no way do I support drinking and driving and fully support the courts in their dealing with these charges."
