Laxey businesses open as usual

Garff Commissioners has moved to assure people that businesses in Laxey remain open as normal.

Following the severe flooding which hit the town on October 1, the stretch of Glen Road between Church Hill and Minorca Hill is expected to remain closed for nearly four months whilst repair works are carried out.

However, the local authority is reminding residents and visitors that outlets in the area are not being affected by the recent disruption.

Meanwhile, an independent review of the circumstances surrounding the major weather event was announced earlier this month by Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK.
