Businesses along the stretch of Military Road from Chale to Brook are spreading the word that they are are still open for business during the major scheme to resurface the iconic road.
Isle of Wight Pearl, Grange Farm, The Dinosaur Farm and others including The Wight Mouse Inn at Chale would like to make all customers aware that it is business as normal.
‘Don’t let the road closure put you off supporting local business’ is the message being conveyed. Although the road may be closed, diversion routes are well sign posted to specific points.
The beginning half of October is set to disrupt the road east of Brighstone. Access can be gained to all businesses like the Dinosaur Farm which is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays as well as the whole of October half term. Follow the diversion routes away from the coast road, inland via Brighstone from the west through to Shorwell and on to Chale or vice versa from the East.
At the end of the month including October half term, the disruption will affect Isle of Wight Pearl and Grange Farm. Follow diversions west from Brighstone – the diversion route will take you through Brighstone village to Brook and vice Versa. New Road, Brighstone will be the access route back on to the coastal road and to businesses concerned.
