Boo Gay'n Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 In shock news today, a man complains that it rains in the Isle of Man - link.

Non-Believer Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Trees down on Captain's Hill too. More evidence of the massive amount of roadside tree-limbing and pruning work that's built up and outstanding across the Island? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the blue Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Laxey as well as other glens and areas of woodlands have as everyone knows been neglected for years. Speaking to someone relatively high up in the department, maintenance was a dirty word with the senior management preferring new capital projects. I think the penny has finally dropped, albeit too late in Laxey’s case and work is starting to be undertaken to resolve historic failings. Drainage, river walls and tree pruning are going to come at a high cost over the next decade all because of cost ‘saving’ on maintenance during the supposed austerity years. Just wait until Ash die back takes hold properly. Tree surgeons are going to be doing very well, as Ash trees are everywhere. At least Baker lives in a glen so he has seen the issues at first hand. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I see Perkins is saying how bad the flooding is in Laxey. Duh! Wonder why he doesn't understand that he's there to do something about it, not just comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
