To celebrate Small Business Saturday, the Isle of Wight Council is offering free parking in its long-stay car parks on 2nd December. Free parking will be in place from 12:00 to 18:00 on Saturday 2nd December in all off-street long-stay car parks across the Island. The Council is also spotlighting Island businesses that act as co-working spokes to the Innovation Wight programme hub, Building 41. Innovation Wight offers a comprehensive support programme designed to enhance the resilience and productivity of businesses on the Isle of Wight. It operates on a ‘Hub and Spokes’ model, with Building 41 as the central hub providing co-working (hot desking), event, and meeting spaces along with a collection of small office suites. All within a single building in Northwood. The Building 41 central hub is complemented by outreach centres known as spokes in Ryde (Monkton Arts), Ventnor (The Ventnor Exchange), and Freshwater (The Little Boat). This set-up provides widespread access to co-working spaces, business support programmes, and networking opportunities for the Island business community. There are various options to use the spaces to ensure maximum flexibility; monthly co-working packages for regular use, day passes for occasional use, independent spoke usage, and meeting rooms only. Co-workers have access to a desk, super-fast Wi-Fi, and free tea and coffee.
Stefan Powell of The Little Boat in Freshwater said:
“It’s lovely to be able to be a part of Innovation Wight enabling individuals and small groups to separate work and home life and to be able to offer a comfortable and quiet space for people visiting our beautiful Island and the West Wight.” “A win for local business and the village – two minutes by car from Freshwater Bay. Long may it continue”.
What a tough lad… using weapons! Well done
What a wimp more like
Thank God the poor bus driver only sustained a minor injury.
This 16 year scum bag, who is underclass pond life should receive appropriate punishment. Whichever Judge passes sentence on him, don’t be lenient on him. He needs to be punished and understand his behaviour is unacceptable so he must face the consequence.
Pot head sunshine I bet it’s was one of yours
He needs a very severe sentence, at 16 he is already out of control, what the hell is going on !
I suggest you ask the parents.
Ahhhh another one of the islands finest feral rats.
Imagine being so stupid that your brain doesn’t even comprehend what you’re trying to tell us about your own body language that is literally just an expression of what your mind thinks and doesn’t comprehend at all because it’s not even remotely relevant
Shut up idiot…
Are you on day release again? are you Kev using my name?…you should be in secure accommodation….
The first old fart was the one
Old bill should have tasered him for 5 or 6 minutes to sort him out
Unless scum are sent to a young offenders institute
No one is safe, he could have killed the Bus Driver.
Get tough on such crimes.
That’s it bail the little shit so he can do it again. Glad i don’t drive buses anymore.
I blame McDonalds, what else is open in Newpo at that time?
They don’t pay enough to work as a bus driver..
He assaulted a bus driver with a bottle am I correct? So why is he still allowed to walk around freely does it take for him to do it again and again and really hurt someone before he gets locked away?? What is happening to our island?
Hey there just wanted to check on your schedule for next week to see if any old farts are driving the buses
Don’t look back anger I heard you say
Total scum lock him up for a long time 16 years old terrible
Just another lad whose mum has brought him up thinking he can have or do anything he likes, finding out the hard way that real life isn’t like that. A bit of tough love involving the word ‘no’ prepares them for their future.
So for 92 days since the attack, or (13 weeks, 1 day), or (3 months, 1 day) this delinquent is allowed to be free until his case is heard in court. Meanwhile, the bus driver will continue to work and hope that his attacker doesn’t try it again. Now would be a good time to reconsider, where appropriate, naming these individuals so that the public are aware of who they are too. Then if vigilantes want to ‘have a chat’ they will know for certain they are talking to the right person. We need to make these thugs feel as vulnerable as their victims.
This little b@xxxxd should be given a good hiding I hope the bus driver isn’t to traumatized by this piece of vermin
Silly little boy should be tucked up in bed with his Thomas pj’s on and his Teddy to cuddle at 22.00.
Problem is southern vectis have 0 regard for there drivers health and safety.this is only the latest assault on there drivers .my cousin bless her worked there for a bit but soon went back to the prison as you face less abuse and violence there.
