The milder winter meant Island Roads only needed to carry out 23 gritting runs compared to 35 the winter before, but as it was also very wet, there was still much to keep the team busy.
Natural England were so concerned that Island Roads had started work in a legally-protected SSSI area without permission, they've told them to stop. We've got the detail.
Council say they have been talking to Waste Improvement Network about Waste Contract procurement, but the scope of their project is too wide for the framework. We're waiting to hear back on what is so special about the Wight scheme, as 141 other councils had used it successfully.
As you can see, this section of road is bad - really bad (we've driven over it). Despite it being reported, Island Roads have scheduled it in for resurfacing in 2019! Have you got example of sections of road that you think are worse?
Although residents are pleased to have a shiny new road, there are fears the lack of drop kerb since resurfacing could result in flooding to their gardens and properties.
