Yarmouth Vintage Car Boot sale organiser says it will come back – If councillor is voted out
The upscale popular Fair was much-loved but came to an end when the decision to close the local primary school was made, but the organiser says he could be convinced to restart it and has some conditions
Nao Utsumi (of Rust Jewellers) who organised and ran the extremely popular Yarmouth Vintage Car Boot Fairs says he still gets lots of enquiries from people asking when the Fair will be returning.
Held in the field next to Yarmouth Primary School during the summer and at Christmas, the Vintage Fair which attracted 1,000s of Islanders and visitors, featured a fantastic selection of vintage goods being sold from vintage cars and vans.
Pupils are still currently being taught on both sites but with the need to demolish the Freshwater building, the Isle of Wight Council is now applying for planning permission for temporary classrooms to be erected at the Mill Road site. The temporary accommodation will be used to teach the 43 students still studying in Freshwater as there is not enough capacity in the school buildings for the full 140 pupils enrolled. Access to the temporary classrooms will be by steps only, but planning agents for the application Hampshire County Council has said the classrooms will only be generic teaching spaces and anyone who cannot manage the steps will not be required to access the rooms and lessons can be timetabled to use an alternative location.
