The President of the Ramblers will be joining the celebratory walk on the new Totland seawall path on Sunday afternoon. All are welcome to join in the celebrations.
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 Shanklin councillors say they're following advice from the monitoring officer and not attending the call-in of the council paper they've previously declared an interest in, but chair of the Scrutiny Committee says non-attendance will be seen as a 'cop out'.
The council paper that is apparently at the centre of a row resulting in four councillors leaving the Independent Group will be scrutinised tomorrow from 6pm.
Whether the call-in will delay work going on behind the scenes to prepare reports due to go to the October Executive for both Undercliff Drive and Totland Seawall is not yet known. We've asked and are awaiting a response.
There'll be live music and you can learn more about the 35 million years of biodiversity on the landslip, from prehistoric lake and estuary snails to today’s mining bees and orchids.
