A hole that appeared on the walkway at Ryde Marina towards the end of last week (31st May) has been repaired, Ryde Town Council has confirmed. The rather large hole in the footway first appeared on Friday afternoon with concerned members of the public quickly alerting staff at Ryde Marina. One Island Echo reader said that her children almost fell into the hole as they took a walk during the May half-term, with no signage in place to warn people of the impending danger. A large cable reel was used to block the hole over the weekend before a repair was carried out on Monday afternoon.

With war seemingly likely best get used to large holes appearing, and no chance of compo from Russia or China
So, something happened quickly in Ryde…
Well open the bloody toilets at the Station…
Perhaps it’s voting season and the incompetent people are looking for a reelection…
“One Island Echo reader said that her children almost fell into the hole as they took a walk” someone was not paying attention ! surely you are watching children like a hawk in and around a harbour, there are many dangers
You don’t have children do you.
Perhaps yours are free range
Let’s hope someone has identified the cause of the hole, and whether the same thing might now erupt elsewhere on the walkway! I’m often there, so will watch my step!
Still reely dangerous as with no warning sign anyone like a poor ADHD person, moving the reel would fall down the hole.
Why would ADHD make you fall down a hole ?
I wonder what shade of tarmac they used…..
Expect more of this if the Torys get in again. They goal is to asset strip the UK. Rishi Sunak, made his millions at the company that cause the RBS collapse that cost the tax payer billions. His company purchased a failing bank and then convinced (by lying) RBS to buy it. They made millions out of the deal. RBS went bust. That is the guy they want to run the UK. Cares about money more than the UK.

What’s that to do with a hole in Ryde?. Starmer is no angel, as for Angela Rayner, she tried to claim for her boob job on expenses.
No she did not. That is a total lie.
It’s not known as NO Health and Safety Isle for nothing, the Island is run by
useless clueless B’stards who have no idea about safety.
If only pot holes could be done that quickly
