By a County Press reporter

ROAD closures and diversions will be in place next month while Southern Water carries out improvements to its mains network ahead of the building of a new supermarket on the Isle of Wight.

A one-way system will be in place between Newport Road to Seaview Road, Cowes, while a new water main is laid to supply the new Aldi supermarket development at the former BAE Systems site, at Three Gates Road.

The work is due to commence on Monday and is expected to take four weeks.

There will be no access to Newport Road beyond Seaview Road, and access to Newport Road will be via Place Road and Nodes Road.

A traffic diversion will be in place but pedestrian access will not be affected.

Love Lane, Bembridge, will be closed for two days from March 11, while a mains connection is replaced.

Southern Water's area water distribution manager, John Young said: "We will ensure any noise and disturbance is kept to a minimum."

Do they have gas and electricity? Or will they be coming along next to close the road?

Surely they could have done that while the road was closed last time. Who do I send my extra fuel bill to? after all this is not improvements, it is to fill the coffers of a private business.
