Glen Road closure extended

A road closure in Laxey has been extended, following severe floods in the town last week.

Glen Road was one of the streets most affected by torrential rain - which saw the town cut off and more than 150 properties without power.

Emergency services and volunteers have been helping residents salvage possessions and remove damaged furniture.

The Department of Infrastructure has confirmed the road will now remain closed until 12pm on Monday, October 14 whilst work continues.

It says the road remains shut to all traffic from its junction with Church Hill / Rencell Hill and its junction with Minorca Hill.
