What the petition asks
After constant cancellations from Wightlink, Red Funnel & Hovertravel and also having to pay extortionate prices to travel to and from the island. It's about time the Isle of Wight was connected via a bridge or underwater tunnel to the mainland of the United Kingdom.
If Denmark & Sweden can be connected via a bridge and partially an underwater tunnel then what's stopping the Isle of Wight being connected to the rest of the UK.
