TRAVEL - ROADS: Isle of Wight, Newport
Delays expected due to Isle of Wight Festival traffic on A3054 in both directions between Victoria Road and A3021 Whippingham Road. There has been heavy rainfall making the camp site & car parks muddy.
The mud has led to difficulties getting vehicles into the car parks. Overnight vehicles have had to be towed onto site using tractors. Police ask drivers to prepare their vehicles for towing.
Parade takes 6-months to organise
Same Sky spends the six months leading up to the parade working with local schools to help them plan and create their costumes. The charity, which works with communities to create exciting and affordable arts events, has been organising the spectacular free parade since 1989.
