Funds will be made available to pay for the damage caused by the recent stormy weather.
That’s according to the Chief Minister – although he is still of the opinion the Isle of Man doesn’t need a permanent emergency weather fund.
The Island has been battered by strong winds, and high tides, which have led to flooding and significant damage particularly around promenade areas.
The storms at the start of January cost in excess of £300,000 and the cleanup operation has begun once again.
Allan Bell does admit the Island needs to make more preparations for the future:
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
Panic over - Mcdonald's reopens at 11am tomorrow
Police say beat it to cars illegally parked during MJ tribute act
No dedicated prostate cancer screening programme, despite over 1,200 referrals
Minister says GP waiting times have improved, but delays still impact A&E
Crash closes section of the Mountain Road
Island's prison nears full capacity
