the stinking enigma Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Couldn't possibly. One can't edit a post pointing out someone else's error. It's just not croquet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Sorry, just realised you meant "they" edited it. Pretty poor show if you ask me. The type of thing I'd expect from woody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 No. It's still in there. Not in the heading but the story further down. Hedging their bets. Fair play to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not even the full story either ..walked down past a couple of weeks ago ..yes weir blocked but also maybe 8/10 tonne bags full in the river just below the Digger which was up close to the road on the river bank..there was also other flood defence bags in the river too . All likely to had helped make this flooding likely if we had big rain...and we did . You think they would have learnt a lesson about not keeping river in Lacey clear wouldn't you . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 So again reading that report trees blocking the river again played a part ?!! Couldn't make it up....how much did the last negligence cost the Manx tax payer when the bridge below went again due to not looking after river beds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJR Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I have always said that there are too many trees in Laxey..Not sure that many were growing on the river bed though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Taylor Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Contractors are doing a weir in the river ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Carey's were also contracting for the MUA on this project. In 2015 when the floods trashed the NSC part of the blame lay in the build up of debris lying in the channel between the NSC and McD's. DOI have only just had contractors in doing some clearing work in the past few weeks. So 4 years to get to a problem. Although the clearing was going to be sympathetic to the ducks....

Confirming what I wrote above ...this was 6th September . This was the same scene I witnessed walking past around then . See the tote bags also below the digger !! A dam in the making if it rains ! Oh and all that gear stayed on the river bed ..apart from level Edited October 1, 2019 by Numbnuts 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
