Roads re-opening across Island

Roads are beginning to open around the Island

The Creg Ny Baa back road, and Little Mill Road in Onchan, are both now open, as well as the Coast Road from Laxey to Ramsey.

However, Officers say Glen Road in Laxey has suffered severe damage, and aren't sure if the route will open any time soon.

It comes following  a major incident being declared as flooding devastated the town this morning with 150 properties losing power, which has now been restored. 

Severe weather resulted in vehicles being washed away and  people being trapped in their homes.

All emergency services and government agencies were mobilised in response - and residents on Glen Road in Laxey being instructed to stay inside their homes than try to leave, and to monitor media channels. 

Officials added they hope the Mountain road will open by 5pm.
