On Friday OnTheWight ran an article highlighting the rise in car parking prices across the Isle of Wight that they were attempting to sneak out.
While researching it, we were told by the Isle of Wight council press office that an electronic version of the document wasn’t available.
Document ‘now discovered’
The Isle of Wight council has now ‘discovered’ a Word document holding detail of parking fee increases that will come into action on 6 April 2018. Not surprising given they’d already sent it to the County Press so it could be included in the Official notices, way back on page 80.
The Word document they have now sent to us reports that it was last printed out on 7 March, so clearly was available electronically. It’s currently unclear why some in the IWC press office would not provide access to it last week.
Here it is in full.
Update 14:48 13 Mar: A reader pointed out in the comments (Thanx Colin!) that Blackgang Carpark is in the list the council provided OnTheWight as places they are charging for car parking. It is not in the list the County Press was paid to print (page 80). We’ve put a question into the council to ask which is correct.
14:53: (In what is the fastest response time we can recall for a long time – long may it last) The council tell us Blackgang car park should not be on the list and that it appeared due to “human error” on their side. We’re asking why it was on the list in the first place.
