Godshill road improvements require temporary shuttle bus service
What happened
Major road improvements in Godshill, between Godshill Primary School and 100 metres east of the main car park, are scheduled to begin on November 2, 2026. To maintain connectivity during the works, Southern Vectis confirmed it will operate a daytime hourly shuttle bus service between Jubilee Close, Godshill, and Newport Bus Station.

Why it matters
The road works, which are planned to run through January 2027, require coordination between the Isle of Wight Council and Southern Vectis. The shuttle service is intended to minimize the impact of the closures on local access and services in the area.
