I am convinced that the PFI contract with Island Roads is an absolute disaster. I hope I am wrong but all the signs of all talk and no action are there. The choice of roads to resurface first beggars belief. Cockelton Lane is a prime example. Why? The previous council have a lot to answer for and we might rue the day that this contract was given.

Have you asked why? There is a logical plan that does seem strange to those who dont know why roads are being done in a specific order. Our town council has been briefed and it does make sense.

If you constantly shift around in apparent unease and shake your head in disbelief at your own words, then what kind of person are you?!

I concur. These people are now closing the town of Yarmouth.

The only alternative route takes ages and at present some of that is also closed.

Island Roads planning is comical without the laughs.

Marc Griffin has been an exemplary council officer: hard working, dedicated, effective and a pleasure to work with. Staff of his calibre are hard to find and he will be sorely missed. He is highly thought-of by his officer colleagues and Council Members alike. I for one wish him every possible success for his future.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I had to give Chris Whitehouse an up arrow! Marc Griffin is an excellent local government officer and will be greatly missed.

This man says one thing yet his body language says another. In my world shaking the head from side to side is a negative. He speaks positive yet his head says negative. Very interesting. And what’s with the rubbish guitar music in the background?

More importantly why is Edward Giles one of Island Roads ”lay assessors”.

At last: Eddie agrees with me on a PFI roads issue! (“Steve Goodman’s comment is rated +3 30.Jan.2014 8:30am If more assessors are needed, there are others with a keen interest & time to spare now, like Eddie Giles & his friends.”) How much does his role in the signing of the contact have to do with the loss of his seat resulting in him having the… Read more »

This reminds me slightly of Keith Simmonds recently been given the role of “consultant” at Cowes Enterprise College by the Chair of Governors (with “expertise” in what field exactly???).
It may be legal and can’t therefore not be officially called corruption, but it really makes you think.

Just like every person soundly rejected by the electorate, Edward Giles should just retire from public life.

The fact that he is now working with Island Roads is plain wrong – just like his ridiculous claim that the PFI would bring a billion pounds in economic benefit to the Isle.

As I write this comment Undercliff Drive is collapsing at the Undercliff Glen site. This has been inevitable for several years. As the Council’s Cabinet report in 2007 said: “It could be argued that this project does not necessarily offer value for money as any work would be carried out on an active landslide.”. The Council then voted to abandon the notorious and unsustainable High-Point Rendel scheme.… Read more »

Having read comments regarding Marc Griffin I must say that far from being helpful he has dismissed the problem of resurfacing roads with material that is dangerous to horses in an offhanded manner despite admitting that this is the case.Even one of the consultants for island roads has admitted that vibrovia does not meet the requirements for all road users.The council has a legal obligation to all… Read more »
