Minor impact flooding is expected in some parts of the Eastern Yar, but with dry weather now until Thursday, it should give the river a chance to recover
The water level of the Eastern Yar is high and slowly rising. If there is further rain overnight the river will be higher than normal and residents are advised to use pumps
The Niton and Whitwell Parish Council has stepped in to organise a minibus service following Isle of Wight Council cuts to community bus services. The new service launches next week.
With winter approaching, we expect that bus passengers in Whitwell will be glad to once again have use of the bus stop and shelter opposite Rose Cottage.
