Additional no waiting zones outside schools in Cowes and Gurnard are among the latest proposals to revise traffic orders by the Isle of Wight Council.
In the first phase of revisions, residents of Cowes, East Cowes, Northwood and Gurnard will be affected.
Some orders will not change the existing restrictions, however, just update the legal orders to reflect the current road layout.
In the first phase of revisions, residents of Cowes, East Cowes, Northwood and Gurnard will be affected. Some orders will not change the existing restrictions, however, just update the legal orders to reflect the current road layout. Changes were agreed between the Isle of Wight Council and police back in 2019 with further approval sought from town and parish councils last year. Now a formal consultation has been launched by the council for residents of Cowes, East Cowes, Northwood and Gurnard to comment on the proposals in their area. Details of the proposals have been placed on lamp posts on the streets where changes are proposed but residents can email the council (pfi@iow.gov.uk) for copies.
A MAN who launched an attack and caused injury with an axe, faces imprisonment. Lance Thomas Hopewell, 37, admitted inflicting actual bodily harm against Joshua Light, at Gurnard Pines holiday village, near Cowes, on September 2 last year. Hopewell, of Cockleton Lane, Gurnard, was due to stand trial for four days at the Isle of Wight Crown Court on Monday (1), but changed his plea to guilty at the 11th hour. For Hopewell, Berenice Mulvanny said her client had underlying alcohol problems, but had made progress while on remand the past six months. Judge David Melville ordered a report on Hopewell, who faces the prospect of a jail term.
