What No Road Closure!

The roads in and out of Iwade are open but your onward journey for example to Kemsley and Asda from Iwade is shut until 14th July according to the latest Jacksons Civil email! Just when you thought it was all over!

Water Leak Update

The word on the street (Ferry Road) is that the ownership of Iwade's Ferry Road 5-6 year old leak(s) is in question still but that Southern Water fixed a couple of probably inconsequential smaller leaks when they were digging up the road last week but found a larger leak on the other side of the road. Watergate continues ...

According to the 2025 Annual Parish Meeting Minutes May 2025 Iwade Parish Council requested a water test and it showed that it was tap water so Southern Water's responsibility.

Mother and Daughter Epic Sidecar Challenge!

Iwade's mother and daughter duo Claire and Susie Colston aka Sidecar Susie are preparing to travel from Land's End to John O Groats in 5 days in March 2026, travelling a whopping 200 miles a day on average.

Claire is hoping to be in the Guinness Book of Records as the first woman to do this journey with a sidecar and raising money for Headway - the brain injury association at the same time, along with some quality mother and daughter time on the road.

The pair have already gained the support of Tiffany Coates who has ridden more miles than any woman and Casualty's Big Mac actor Charles Dale.

Claire and Susie welcome donations on their fundraising page and also welcome interest from corporate sponsors get in touch by email at colston333@sky.com.
