The Isle of Wight council has simply said the "Floating Bridge is out of service temporarily" and not given any explanation of how it became grounded on a neap tide. Is this the ‘good floating bridge service during Cowes Week’ Cllr Ian Ward wanted?
Cllr Ian Ward has just stated he wants to provide Cowes Week visitors "a good floating bridge service during the period of Cowes Week" - Somehow not realising this is somewhat of a snub to Islanders who live here all year round who dream of the same.
