If you were concerned about the number of potholes across the Island, you'll be pleased to hear the PFI contractor, Island Roads, will be having a blitz on them.
The Isle of Wight Council has appointed an organisation to assist with the management of the Highways PFI contract on a short term basis until key vacancies are filled within the team that oversees the Island Roads contract.
Cllr Phil Jordan was recently put in charge of overseeing the Island Roads' PFI contract. He's now got an understanding of the failures of the original contract the last Conservative administration locked Island tax-payers into for 25 years. The shortcomings are shocking and deeply worrying.
The council have already said they will be asking Atkins, a respected design, engineering and project management consultancy, to review the PFI contract.
It's good to hear that shoddy work carried out on behalf of Island Roads is being corrected at no extra cost to the Island, but the inconvenience of closed roads and pavements has not been welcomed by residents.
