Sandbag collection points

This article was published in 2019 and might be out of date.
For the latest information, please visit our current works page or news page.

In the event of adverse weather, where there is a potential risk of flooding, sandbags can be found in the following locations:

 

Well Road, East Cowes

Simeon Street Rec, Ryde

St Mary’s car park, Cowes

 

Information will be issued on Twitter if sandbags are required in other locations.

The use of sandbags should be restricted to the protection of access points into residential properties and we would ask that the numbers used are kept to a minimum (a maximum of 6 each property) to ensure that stocks are available for other local residents.

Thank you.
