Isle of Wight residents are calling for one of its most scenic roads to be urgently fitted with safety measures after years of erosion have left the route dangerously close to a cliff edge.
Military Road is an 11-mile stretch of tarmac that offers sweeping views of the island, running alongside its coastal cliffs. But in recent years the erosion of the area has left the road posing a “serious risk to life”, with sections of the route on the southern coast of the island now less than five metres from the cliff’s edge.
