The troubled £3.5m Floating Bridge 6 will be replaced, the Isle of Wight Council has tonight (Thursday) announced. The council’s executive cabinet body unanimously agreed to replace the current chain ferry — which has been plagued with issues since it was installed in 2017 — in a “decision which has been a long time coming,” said Cllr Phil Jordan, the authority’s leader. Speaking at the cabinet meeting, Cllr Jordan said he knew it was a decision people had been waiting for, and so had he.
