And a pothole-action group. And a roadside vegetation and tree limbing-action group. Etc etc. (Can anybody see a common denominator here, btw?) Is it something about an "action group" ......? Maybe something like a what, I don't know, a Government Department or something...? Anyone know how they got on last night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by where roads were shut and trees were down it seems the west got it worst, so they're probably fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Thanks for info. Glad it didn't turn into another fiasco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Laxey has been flooding since the mines were working and before. Like Shore Road in Kirk Michael, and The Mill Race in Sulby, with Glen Road the clue is in the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 At least his wellies aren't green. The debris trap is well and good but it also needs to be kept clear of trapped debris, I wonder which dept's responsibility that will be to derelict?

Kopek Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Nice photo of 'posing politicians' but what about the guys who built it??? Happens too often, no acknowledgement of the 'coal face people'!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a joint responsibility of the MUA and DOI which probably means each will leave it to the other and the blame will be passed too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 With the weather forecast not looking particularly good over the next 24 hours I sincerely hope that IOMG have done all that is necessary to keep the residents in Laxey safe and dry. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD4ELI Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Climate change will bring more intense rainfall, there's a limit to the flow in the river. I would be looking at replanting in the areas above Laxey to hold the water for as long as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see best practice look at what the Swiss and Austrians do in the Alps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 always wonder if a groundwater and flooding study is done everytime certain building companies concrete over great swathes of the island for houses that no-one here will actually buy. i'm guessing the unmarked envelopes landing on desks would probably say no. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
