Residents and businesses around the Island affected by the road closure on Undercliff Drive are being urged to attend an open meeting on Wednesday this week to share their concerns.
The Ventnor Town Council has written to Penny Mordaunt, the Minister for High Streets and Coastal Communities, asking for her consideration of "supportive action with an equivalence to that applied to Eastbourne Pier".
Kate Ashbrook believes failure of the council to reinstate the coastal path at Totland would be a severe blow to the Island’s economy and to the enjoyment of its residents and visitors.
The aim of the meeting is to collate concerns and opinions from residents in the wider area affected by the road closure at Undercliff Drive and present these to a higher body to spark action and accountability.
OnTheWight suspected a letter sent by a senior IW council officer contradicted agreed policy on the future of the opening of Undercliff Drive. Since then we've pursued it. Now the Executive Member has corrected the situation.
Eurovia's senior legal team is now scrutinising the dossier of serious allegations made by an Undercliff resident, who received the brush-off from Isle of Wight council and Island Roads.
Residents, still homeless after five months, are desperate for either the council or Island Roads to actually become accountable, the MP heard yesterday.
As if having to move out of your home unexpectedly wasn’t bad enough, many Undercliff residents had no access their homes after Island Roads put up a new locked gate, with no notice, last week.
