To: Isle of Wight Council officers

Get your rocks off Ventnor roads now

We demand that rocks in our roads are removed in 7 days and not 14 months.

Why is this important?

Ventnor on the Isle of Wight is a beautiful, unique Victorian seaside resort much loved by locals and visitors alike.
Currently six of Ventnor's roads are blocked unnecessarily by minor rock debris that take a distressing average of 14 months for Island Roads/County Council to clear.

The latest rock, on Belgrave Road, is much bigger and the inefficiency of the IOW council has ensured that the whole holiday season has been impacted by it. Despite inspections from the authorities, nothing has happened. 
The beach and beautiful esplanade has not been accessible from the west for 2 years due to the closure of Bath Road. The average clearance of other closures is climbing above 14 months.

Our petition comes from a very angry Ventnor that is being strangled by the inefficiency and bureaucracy of the IOW council and their officers who are totally ineffective. It's killing Ventnor

Please sign today, share, and join our protest on 6th September at 2PM  from The Rex.
