Safe swimming buoys now installed at popular West Wight bay

Helen Wood·

Totland Parish Council are pleased to report that the Safe Swimming buoys have now been installed at Widdick Chine, Totland Bay.

This should hopefully solve the issue of boats mooring too far inshore, in an area where many people enjoy swimming.

Increase of motor vessels
Widdick Chine is a sandy beach at the far western end of Totland Bay, which is popular with families and children. The growth of motor vessels mooring has increased over the years, making this intervention necessary.

Colwell Bay
At Colwell Bay, the launching lane and extra buoys on the Totland side of the bay will be installed during week commencing 21st June.

This is separate to the safe swimming buoys on the east section of Colwell Bay which Freshwater Parish are installing.

For more information see the Totland Parish Council’s Facebook page.

What do you mean “will engage in transactional politics”?

It’s been going on for years surely? Support in exchange for funding? Isn’t that how politics normally works? Or in this particular case doesn’t.

Boris is such an untrustwothy character that he even shafts his supporters.

I’d given up the ‘Island Deal’ as a lost cause. If our MP is the only portal we have to Westminster, he has to be voted out.

Richard, I am, by instinct, wanting to side with you, but I’m disturbed by your lack of political acumen. Your projection of how this weeks events will effect a future outcome at the so-called ‘Island deal’ is wilful. It actually won’t make a jot of difference because the decision about what will happen was made a long time ago. It just remains for someone to announce what… Read more »

Bob Seely must be getting increasingly desperate, particularly after saying at the last general election, ‘judge me by my results’. Clearly the reason many islanders voted for Bob was his promise about delivering the island deal, but after 3 years it is nowhere to be seen. So he talks instead about the Islandline, which delivered a few secondhand trains, and the £48 million for our hospital, that… Read more »

The Tories will be wiped out at the next general election.

I’d love to be able to share your confidence! The Tories are appalling. Dishonest, self-serving, incompetent, corrupt… But when will the opposition give us their alternative vision? What radically different strategy do they have to reform our crumbling society? How will they repair the damage inflicted upon our national reputation overseas? We need answers and I just don’t see the opposition providing them. There seems to be… Read more »

Sadly no they won’t I have become tuned to the phenomenal levels of gullibility in our voters, and it seems the best we can hope for is a hung Parliament with a Labour/Lib compact of some sort. As for the Island, remember he had a 23,000 majority. In my view that was undeserved, but it was the case. He may see that reduced substantially but he won’t… Read more »

I thought the Island was supposed to return 2 MP’s at the next election.

BTW because we also live elsewhere ( and I have mentioned this before) the funds in the “Island deal” were also offered to other locations. That is, there was only one lump of money but many competing for it not knowing there was a competition. The desperation to kick the (immensely patronising) “levelling up” into life suggests to me that the Island will have fallen further down… Read more »

Conservatism is there to make money. Years gone by there was a world demand for our Engineering Products and consequently at home for Coal and Steel. In those days we had the markets. Everything was produced on the cheap; lack of proper equipment and workforce exploited; living hand to mouth; ring any bells! Eventually the world caught up technically and properly invested in equipment speeding up production… Read more »
