Weather wreaks havoc across Island

Gale force winds continue to wreak havoc across the Island today.

Ronaldsway Met Office had issued a yellow weather warning - with expected gusts of up to 65mph.

As a result, sailings and flights have been cancelled, and a number of roads have been closed.

The Steam Packet Company confirmed the 2.15pm sailing from Heysham to Douglas won't go ahead, the 3pm Manannan ferry to Liverpool, and it's return to the Island at 7.15pm have also been called off.

Meanwhile, numerous flights have also been affected - with journeys being delayed or cancelled.

Police are warning the public to take care, with fallen trees, slates and debris across the Island - Douglas Promenade, Mooragh Promenade, Parliament Square, Glen Maye Road, Circular Road and Lezayre Road are all currently closed.

All Heritage Railway services are also currently suspended.

The DOI says it's working in conjunction with other agencies to clear roads as soon as possible.
