At an Isle of Wight council (IWC) media briefing this afternoon, the Service Director for Waste Environment and Planning said the <\/em>landslide that is taking place in Eastern Bonchurch<\/em><\/a> is the largest she\u2019s seen in more than 20 years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natasha Dix explained that the areas sits on the largest urban landslide complex in Northern Europe and that the levels of rainfall we have seen in the last few months are the greatest since recording began in the 1940s.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bonchurch landslide is a result of heavy rainfall in the summer, and given the heavy rainfall in October and November, Natasha warned that more landslides could take place over the coming months.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay away from landslide<\/strong>
Colin Rowlands, Director of Neighbourhoods at IWC reiterated that the situation is very dangerous and that the main message to Islanders is to stay away from the site.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
