There will be less parking in another Isle of Wight village as more double yellow lines have been approved.

The Isle of Wight Council's cabinet has approved parking restrictions for two areas in Wroxall. It follows requests on the safety asset register.

Three schemes were proposed on St Johns Road and Clarence Road in the village, but only one was approved without any changes.

Proposals to introduce yellow lines on a section of St Johns Road, near Worsley Drive, were given the go-ahead by councillors last night (Thursday).

Upon consultation, 19 residents supported the implementation and 16 were against it.

However, one scheme — which would have stopped parking opposite Cleveland Terrace — has been abandoned outright by the council.

A consultation of residents found 16 supported the restriction — which had been proposed to help the flow of traffic and enhance safety — but 26 were against the implementation.

The restrictions were rejected by the cabinet member for highways and infrastructure, Cllr Phil Jordan, who said the council had reflected on the consultation results as well as spoken to the local ward councillor who knew more about the issues.

"It will always be a balance," Cllr Jordan said.

"There are those for and against this and we will only please some and not others but we are tasked with delivering this safety scheme for our community."

Another scheme on Manor Road, just off the High Street and Clarence Road, was partially altered and the length of yellow lines to be introduced was reduced.

In the consultation, 18 supported the proposals whereas 11 were against it.

It was first proposed to stretch the parking restriction from Clarence Road, around the corner and up Manor Road but following concerns, they have been shrunk.

Instead, after cabinet approved to abandon part of the proposal, the restriction will now be enforced from just after the Inn's car park and up Manor Road.
