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.
Southern Vectis have approached Island Roads and Isle of Wight Council to highlight the inconvenience the road works will cause to bus passengers but have not heard back yet.
The alert is specifically for residents in the areas of Arreton, Alverstone and Langbridge where properties are potentially at risk of flooding say the Environment Agency.
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.
