I agree that the ferries should be used only for freight and key workers.

Keep ferries running for freight and key workers only STOP the visitors who I understand are still making non essential journeys in their caravans

The IOW is an ageing population who are more vulnerable to the virus. We need to protect the lid land residents. If the second homes have a main house. Boris should pass a law that all people stay in their primary house and not second. Surely holidays are non-essential.

Stop people not living or working on island from using ferry for pleasure. Holidays & second homes.

this is vitally important to protect this Island as we only have one hospital and the staff there are already under pressure

Ferry companies Could be at the forefront of ensuring the Island is safe and NHS protected. Instead they are only interested in their profits.

Ferry's should only be running for supplies, NHS workers and people needing treatment at Southampton hospital!

The ferries need to stop bringing over 2nd and 3rd homeowners and visitors. The ferries should be used only for food, freight and urgent NHS supplies, and transporting patients to mainland hospitals. While we are at it, we should stop the Scooter festival, cyclists and motorcycles. STOP ALL NON-ESSENTIAL VISITORS TO THE ISLAND NOW. I have emailed Bob Seeley, lets see if he will actually do anything!!!!

The Island cannot cope with visitors at the moment, either medically or for provisions.
