Warning after motorists flout closed road rules

Tuesday, 25 February 2014 00:00

Police say they will deal with motorists 'robustly' if they are caught driving on closed roads.

Officers say they have received numerous complaints - particularly about drivers using the Tholt y Will Road and Peveril Road in Peel.

Peveril Road was closed last week after the road collapsed.

The Department of Infrastructure says it was due to a void forming along the line of the sewer which was made worse by the recent wet weather.

Repair work started yesterday - a diversion is in place while the work is carried out.
