Save the Military Road consultation
August 5, 2010 9:22 AM
Jill Wareham, former Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for the Island, is urging the 4000 people who have already signed up to her facebook campaign 'Save the Military Road' and petitions to respond to the Isle of Wight Council's consultation on the future of the Military Road.
Jill Wareham said "At last the Council has listened to us and is undertaking the consultation which we have been waiting for since March. I have received so many comments and letters of support from locals and tourists and I'm sure Cllr Giles has already had emails which I hope he is going to take into consideration when they make their decision.
"Although welcoming the Council's consultation it is unfortunate that the Council has chosen August to consult, as a number of local people will be on holiday. It is also regrettable that you have to pay to visit one of the four manned exhibitions. Those people who do not have internet access will be disadvantaged and I hope that the Council will have feedback forms available at local businesses for people to complete and return.
"The Military Road is so important to the Isle of Wight that we must make every effort to prolong its life. This view is supported by local residents, tourists, the Chamber of Commerce, Town and Parish Councils - the Isle of Wight Councillors must listen. "
- The consultation is limited to manned exhibitions at Chale Show on 7th and 8 August; Freshwater Bay Car Park on 17 August 10:00- 16:00; Compton Bay, National Trust Car Park on 18 August. 10:00 - 16:00 and Brook green, Brook on 19 August 11:00 - 19:00. An unmanned display will also be made available at a number of locations in South and West Wight during August
