THE coastal footpath at Totland Bay has been closed today (Wednesday, May 25) due to a void opening up in the surface of the seawall.

See map below

The footpath has been closed between The Waterfront Bar and Restaurant and Widdick Chine (south of the pub).

Totland Parish Council said an investigation will now take place to plan the course of action to repair. 

A timescale for the closure has yet to be released.
