Undercliff drive

See further footage of landslip at Undercliff Drive (video)

It’s almost six weeks since families living on Undercliff Drive had to evacuate their homes following landslips on either side of their properties.

The area was then closed by the Isle of Wight council to members of the press and public.

At the end of February OnTheWight were invited by some of residents to accompany them onto the closed site to witness the further destruction caused by the landslip.

Extent of continued damage caused by landslip
It was disturbing to see the continued damage caused by the landslip to the area, particularly where Island Roads had excavated the road during their winter geo-technical works.

The extent of the damage can be seen on the video footage below.

You really get an idea of the scale of the problem when two people walking down the road come into shot just under a minute into the video.

Our thoughts are with the families affected.
