Prices for using the Cliff Lift at Shanklin are to be reduced while Osborne Steps are closed to the public.
The closure is a result of ground stability issues affecting the retaining walls.
The lift begins operations for this year today (Saturday).
For the time being there will be a flat rate of £1 return (instead of £2 for adults/OAP and £1.50 junior).
The temporary measure will stay in place until the steps are reopened.
The Lift is situated mid-way along the Esplanade and provides an alternative means of negotiating the 45m change in level from the Esplanade to the cliff path; the new lift cars take around 30 seconds to travel from the Esplanade to the cliff top.
