After Cllr Brodie's calls for Island Roads to be open and transparent about what he called the "unlikely delivery of the Core Investment Programme, the Cabinet member responsible says he's in talks about next stage of contract.
Chairman of the IWC, Cllr Lora Peacey-Wilcox said, “The majority of the issues we have are, and have been experienced and caused by that person. I think the public need to know that.”
The survey which is due to close on Friday 1st March invites the public to rate Island Roads’ performance on many aspects of its work from road surfacing and maintenance to street cleansing, verge and grass cutting and its customer service operations.
Island Roads say the work under the Highways PFI programme is the biggest overhaul of traffic signals and pedestrian crossings ever undertaken on the Island.
Gritters from Island Roads’ winter maintenance fleet will be out and about on the Island’s highways network this weekend taking part in the annual ‘autumn parade’.
Island Roads are equipping their road-working staff with body-worn video cameras, apparently to capture those who don't pay attention to Stop/Go signs or who shout at workers.
The savings on the PFI contract could result in possible job losses but Island Roads say it's looking at redeployment and other avenues to keep any compulsory redundancies to a minimum.
Several Cowes councillors expressed their concern over the highways PFI contract and how the town's assets will be given to a private company for 25 years.
