Residents Meeting with Police & Local Authorities: Jo Payne has been liaising with the council and police and they have asked for a residents meeting on Friday 2nd August 17.30 at the Broadway Centre in Sandown with the police and other authorities present. This is for us to be heard and perhaps ascertain if there are any resources we can pull on to help make this a safer area for all of us, children, dogs and general public. The speed of vehicles has most definitely increased along Yaverland Road and the tireless revving/ backfiring of cars and motorbikes in the carpark at night and early hours is intolerable. The other morning at 8am a car and motorcycle were racing towards Bembridge, and the bike mounted the pavement to get by said car……. God forbid there were any pedestrians or dog walkers etc. Please would you consider attending the meeting as the more voices / people present the more impact we can make as a community. Hopefully, we can make a difference!
Local Residents Meeting
Where: Broadway Centre, Sandown
When: Friday 2 August 2024 at 5.30pm-7pm

“NO COLD CALLERS” Door Stickers: We have received a batch of “no cold callers” door stickers. If you would like one/some for you &/or your neighbours, Judith in 92 Culver Way, Sharon in 7 Meadow Way or Lynne in 21 Yaverland Close have them for collection.

Parking Restrictions approval for Yaverland: Good news reported by Debbie Andre: The traffic measures that were proposed after consultation with the Yaverland residents were approved by the Cabinet last month and will be implemented within 3 to 6 months. She is pushing for Meadow Way and Culver Way proposals to be carried out as soon as possible, but it is likely that it will miss this summer season.
