A section of Douglas Promenade is closed again today due to coastal overtopping.

The section between the Sea Terminal and Summerhill Road has been cordoned off due to the conditions.

Currently, the closure notice is in place until 5pm.

It comes after waves caused damage to pathways and roads there yesterday, forcing officials to close off part of the highway.

A yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping is currently in place until 3pm this afternoon, with exposed promenades round the Island most at risk.
