Thursday, 7 August 2014 00:00

Lessons have to be learnt from severe flooding in Castletown which caused major damage to the town's sea defences.

A public meeting has been called in the town tonight which will give residents an update on how the area can be protected in the future.

It's been organised by Castletown MHK Richard Ronan.

The meeting will take place at St Mary's on the Harbour at 7pm - he says he hopes he can put people's minds at ease:
