A local MHK says shopkeepers affected by floods in Ramsey have been left disheartened.
The northern town was one of the most badly affected areas when strong winds and a tidal storm surge hit the Island's shores - the cost of which is still being assessed.
Parliament Street - the main shopping area - took much of the hit and businesses had no choice but to close their doors.
Allan Bell says the timing was unfortunate:
Strang Stores applies for extension permission
Tynwald petition advice is free - but you'll need to act soon!
Midnight closing for new Indian restaurant in Castletown?
Tynwald to hear about Ramsey hospital reopening
Superdrug to open beauty salon in summer
MHK to query regulation for funeral directors
Road closures announced for Sprintfest - but no Ramsey Sprint again?
