    The motorcyclist left before we arrived. However he or she left their motorbike at the scene so they must have made off on foot. It’s likely that this person would have come off their motorbike as a result of the collision. Did you see someone in the area who looked injured or disheveled? Do you think you know who this person is?

    A planning application is due to be submitted to the Isle of Wight Council to redevelop the Priory Bay Hotel

    The plans include refurbishing the outbuildings to provide 14 hotel suites, a restaurant, bar and spa as well as 56 holiday lodges, 10 tree houses, 12 woodland retreats, a gym, village barn and farm shop installed.

    Aria Resorts, which also owns Rookley Country Park, St Helens Holiday Park and holiday cottages in Colwell, bought the hotel, located near Bembridge, in December.

    The company has come under fire after caravan owners at Rookley and St Helens were given notice to quit the sites to make way for their regeneration.
