Floating bridge review confirmed in the meantime use it for FREE

Floating bridge review confirmed

Isle of Wight Council Leader Dave Stewart has confirmed that a full review of all the events surrounding the purchase and provision of the new floating bridge will be undertaken by the Isle of Wight Council.

This follows a meeting with the Chief Executive of the council when they discussed what had taken place over recent weeks and how they would work together to address issues that have arisen. 

In the meantime, the council has announced it is to suspend its charges for the use of the floating bridge and offer free travel for vehicles and passengers until Sunday 2 July. This is in recognition of the impact of the problems the introduction of the new floating bridge has had on the lives of its regular users and the local community. It will also give those people who would not normally consider using the facility an opportunity to use it and judge for themselves whether it is something they could factor into their daily travel plans and provide feedback to the council about the facility.
