Problems on the roads
Thanks to our Facebook friends, some updates from around the Island on fallen trees and bad surface water.
Bill Milford: Niton Undercliff has a small tree down blocking the west bound side of the road and lots of wet leaves through there making it a bit slippery, few small branches in other places and plenty of tyre grabbing puddles out there, big blue electrical flash when I was in Lake this morning towards Apse Heath way some electrics …seemed to be out!
Vix Lowthion: Military Road is bad!
Lisa Dyer: East Ashey Lane blocked.
Shelley Peach: Power cuts in parts of Godshill, Ventnor & Shanklin too. Southern Electric have said they hope to have it fixed by 8.30am.
Laura Chappell: The roundabout at Steyne Road and the windmill in Bembridge has a large tree down on the Hillway Road side everything having to turn round and go back!!
