Island Roads is calling on residents to share their views on the highway services it delivers as it launches its annual customer survey.
The survey asks residents to rate a wide range of Island Roads’ services; including road and footway resurfacing, winter maintenance, street cleansing, verge and grass cutting and customer services, which help maintain and improve the Island’s highway network.
So far this year, Island Roads has completed an intensive programme of road surfacing dressing improvements covering more than 17 kilometres of roads across the Island, including Marshcombe Shute, Bowcombe Road, and Newport/Freshwater Road.
The company has also made improvements to cycle tracks and continued its year-round operational and maintenance schemes.
Island Roads Service Director Steve Ashman said:
“Our yearly survey plays a key role in helping us understand how residents feel about the way we deliver a range of highway services across the Island. Their feedback forms part of the many ways we measure our performance and helps us to focus on the areas that matter most in the year ahead.”
The survey also invites feedback on reporting tools, such as Fix my Street and on Island Roads’ wider contribution to the community including grants provided by the Isle of Wight Foundation – the company’s separately funded charitable foundation.
The survey will run from today (Monday) until midnight Tuesday 30th September 2025 and can be completed online via www.islandroads.com

So why do the roads that have very little traffic compared to all the village and town roads? It’s like dodge the pothole and take paracetamol with you after getting shaken to bits
The road that we all have to use to get to the top of belgrave road it the worst.
Springvale road in Seaview is a shocker, it’s
been a shocker for years.
Why report in kilometres when all British road signs are in miles, is it to make it sound as though more has been done than what actually has as seventeen kilometres equates to ten and a half miles.
Because Island Roads head office is in France they probably do t even know where Isle of Wight is?.
It’s a European thing.
It’s about time someone cut the conifers along Church Litten
Newport, they are growing outwards from Morrison car park
blocking the pedestrian walkway.
Why do we pay council tax. I feel like I have to carry a hedge cutter
everywhere I walk on the island.
Services are shite!
“The island seems to like blocking pedestrian walkways”
