Residents campaigning for Totland Sea Wall to be reopened have been informed that work could start as early as next week to repair the damage from the Totland Landslide.
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.
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'.
Some residents who have been affected by the landslip at Undercliff Drive say they've not been given any detail or timetables as to what is happening - leaving them stranded, out of their homes. OnTheWight sought to find answers for them.
Details that first appeared as comments with OnTheWight, were, for the first time, heard in the council chamber last night. Cllr Stubbings laid out in detail his sequence of events, "to put the record straight in the public arena".
A leaked set of email exchanges in front of all IWC councillors asks why Cllr Gilbey and Priest involved themselves at all with the Rush Close controversy after Head of Legal had advised not to. The chair of Scrutiny questions the extent of their 'acquaintanceships'.
