POWER has been restored to the Ventnor postcodes affected yesterday by an SSE fault, but the High Street remains closed.

Works were undertaken on an underground electricity cable yesterday.

Cars are being diverted up Church Street while they cannot route around the town's one-way system.

Southern Vectis's Route 3 is unable to serve Albert Street and Ventnor Boots stops.

Newport-bound buses will use Bonchurch Road, Spring Hill, Central Car Park and Trinity Church, before continuing on the normal route.
