Work continues to help people affected by severe weather

EMERGENCY services and other agencies continue today (Monday) to deal with people and places affected by the severe weather conditions.

There are still parts of the island without electricity and all the agencies involved are working to deal with this issue.

Motorist are asked to use the main arterial routes around the island.

The following is advised:

If travelling from the south use the main Douglas to Castletown Road using Richmond Hill.

If travelling from the west use the main Peel to Douglas road and from the north, the coast road (through Laxey) is the main route to use as the Mountain Road remains closed.

If travelling from Kirk Michael motorists should use the TT Course and travel through to Ramsey.

Cronk-Y-Voddy, Baldwin and Dalby remain closed and impassable and these roads should not be used.

Residents are asked, if it is safe to do so, to check on the welfare of their neighbours and if anyone is worried or concerned phone (01624) 697314. In an emergency phone 999.

People are asked not to report matters to the police via Facebook or Twitter unless there is no other means of communication as messages may not be picked up.

People are asked to remain patient and expect delays if travelling.

Bus Vannin said about routes 5 and 6 between Douglas and Peel that it now has access to Albany Road in Peel. Therefore all buses arriving into Peel will stop and collect in Albany Road and Derby Road (outside Shoprite and the westbound stop opposite the Western Swimming Pool).
