This 81 year old Newport resident has been waiting more than 18 months for a drop kerb to be fitted outside his home. Will his dream come true in 2015?
Island Roads are threatening to close the road rebuilt by Islanders last weekend, claiming it's for the security of the residents (without even asking them), but denying them access to things like heating oil and fuel for the winter.
Some residents who have been affected by the landslip at Undercliff Drive say they've not been given any detail or timetables as to what is happening - leaving them stranded, out of their homes. OnTheWight sought to find answers for them.
The chair of the Scrutiny Committee will need to decide whether she will dis-allow a call-in on the preferred bidder Delegated Decision, as requested by the head of the project Jay Jayasundara.
While Island Roads are collecting all of the things the PFI contract tells them they have to - rubbish from street bins, grass cutting, etc - they're flatly refusing to pay to get rid of it. We've got the detail.
The duration of the entire scheme is ten weeks, but this is phased to avoid work during the school summer holidays and ensuring that road closures are kept to a minimum.
Island Roads issue a press release alerting the public they'll be starting more main road resurfacing works shortly - something the 25 year PFI contractor is being paid £1.4m per month to carry out.
Work is not expected to start until at least September 2014 say Island Roads, despite the road being closed to two-way traffic for over seven months already.
Several community based projects across the Isle of Wight have been chosen as recipients of this year’s grant funding from the Isle of Wight Foundation – the charitable foundation established by the partners in Island Roads.
