A petition to ‘To Save Our Totland Sea Wall‘ will be presented to the full council next Wednesday (26th).
As the petition raised over 2,500 signatures (over 4,200 signed) the Isle of Wight council must hear from representatives and allow a debate to take place.
As readers will remember, the petition calls for
Funds to be made available to reinstate the sea wall revetment between Totland and Colwell Bays, by whatever means possible.
The process
Caroline Dudley, on behalf of the petition organiser, will speak to the council for five minutes and then local Member, Cllr John Howe (Ind), will have three minutes to make his comments.
A maximum of 15 minutes is then allowed for further debate and decision-making.
At the end of January, the Isle of Wight council released the specialist’s report on the situation at Totland, falling the landslide in late 2012.
The report revealed that stabilising the land and reinstating the sea wall would cost the council in the region of £1.5m-£2m.
