Undercliff Drive Landslip - A comparison after 2 years. - Isle Of Wight.

In February 2014, Undercliff Drive suffered landslides that took away access to local buildings & a caravan park.
Local residents have been messed around for 2 years by the Isle Of Wight Council regarding getting repairs done.
After a while they rebuilt a single lane of road themselves from the western end allowing access to vehicles once more, (Shown at end of video.) However the council closed the road again after just days and put barriers in place..
Since closing the road made by residents there has been excuse after excuse why works can't go ahead to have that end done officially so people can once again have access to their homes & business.
(The access road put in by the residents is meanwhile still closed and in just as good condition as the day it was finished.)
Official works are supposed to be starting at the western end shortly at time of posting this. (March 2016)
But after the many ridiculous excuses given to the affected residents by the council for not carrying out any works, it wouldn't surprise me if that trend continues further..
