Chief Minister Allan Bell has praised the emergency services and government workers for their response to last night’s flash floods.
As heavy rain fell across the Island, many roads were under inches of water as drains clogged with autumn leaves.
But thanks to efforts from fire crews, police and Department of Infrastructure workers, the problems were quickly dealt with during the evening.
Mr Bell says last night showed how dedicated government staff are:
Abuse towards bus drivers 'will not be tolerated'
Bus Vannin says its staff have a right to do their job without fear of violence, intimidation or discrimination
Mountain Road closed due to snow and ice
DoI to review conditions later this morning
Dog owners and farmers surveyed on sheep worrying
MNFU wants 'honest opinions' as it pushes for stronger legislation
Majority of rates going up for residents across the Island
Two local authorities have opted to reduce theirs for the next financial year
