Isle of Wight Festival preparations under way

Measures aimed at avoiding a repeat of the travel chaos at the Isle of Wight Festival have been put in place.

Heavy rain at the 2012 event left the main car park waterlogged and hundreds of cars were unable to enter the Seaclose Park site in Newport.

Festival organisers Solo and the Isle of Wight Council have made new arrangements for festival goers travelling between the ferry ports and the festival site this weekend.
