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.
