Island Roads plea to drivers to use signed diversion in East Cowes
The plea comes after many drivers have been using alternative routes, which Island Roads say are not suitable for the volume of traffic
Island Roads is respectfully reminding all road users to use the signed diversion in place during the ongoing York Avenue improvement works in East Cowes.
This diversion offers a safe route for all traffic coming in and out of the town including vehicles using the Red Funnel ferry.
Unsuitable routes
We are aware of some local concerns about traffic using alternative routes. These alternative routes were not selected as the diversion route as they are not considered suitable for the volume of traffic or the larger vehicles that would normally use York Avenue.

Access to education while children are learning at home is the concern of one Isle of Wight councillor. QUESTIONS are being raised over what the Isle of Wight Council is doing to help children who do not have access to online learning as the country is in another lockdown. With Covid restrictions now stopping the majority of children going to school, and with those restrictions expected to last until the end of the month at least, concerns have been raised about the growing disparity between the haves and have nots in terms of education. Speaking at a meeting of the council s policy and scrutiny committee for neighbourhoods and regeneration yesterday (Thursday, January 7), Cllr Julie Jones-Evans, for Newport Central, asked what was being done to support families, bridge the divide and if more could be done to provide broadband connections, as children cannot access their education.
