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.
It's not just the residents that are confused as to why large solid hoardings have been erected, instead of the see-through fencing used everywhere else on site.
A residential property that the council purchased in 2006 prior to proposed road realignment of Undercliff Drive is being sold with a guide price of £280,000-£300,000.
The council tell OnTheWight that it could be November before options to give any access to Undercliff Drive are even discussed. Concerns are that when it starts to rain, will currently exposed porous land/surfaces be left open to drink up the rain and then trigger further landslips - exposing the council to further costs?
