Friday, 24 April 2015 00:00

No action will be taken in relation to the recent spillages of silt on the Island's roads.

That's according to the Isle of Man Constabulary which says it has taken specialist advice about the spillage in Peel.

Police say the threshold wasn't reached so they have dealt with this matter as they would with any other case of spillage on the roads.

Anyone who leaves deposits on public roads has now been reminded they must act responsibly under the Highways Act - using warning signs and removing debris within a reasonable time.
