THE STRONG winds hitting the Island have caused Hovertravel to suspend their hovercraft service this evening (Saturday).

Wightlink are also set to run a revised timetable tomorrow (Sunday) due to the predicted weather conditions.

Islanders are advised to check the Wightlink, Red Funnel and Hovertravel websites before travelling across the Solent this evening and tomorrow as the Island is due high winds and heavy rain.

Island Roads has also confirmed that Castle Street, Ryde, is closed due to a fallen down tree.
