Former youth club to be sold

A Tragedy that across the country Youth Work is being cut back at a time when young people need more support not less and as the Youth Worer that run the Yarmouth Youth Centre from 1977- 1984 approx it is sad to see the building sold off - and the young people raised the funds for the bench on the Station platform to allow people walking along the footpath a resting place to see the beautiful field and river so any attempts to remove that should be fought at all costs - the Cabinet should be ashamed of itself make sure you vote them out at the next election

I have come across so many instances of people who purchase oild railway properties and then spend the next few years trying to make it look totally unlike a a railway building. I will never understand ths mentality. It would be sad to see Yarmouth Station end up like this. Why not let the IOW steam railway have the property as an out post and possible museum?

Jeff, I wouldn't hold your breath mate.......

Hopefully the new purchaser of this once proud railway station will endeavour to retain some of its railway features. It was and still is an important part of the islands railway history and as such deserves a sympathetic restoration. Fingers crossed. I look forward to seeing what transpires.

DISGRACEFUL!!! remember this when its time to vote
