Minister responds after just 28% say they're happy with condition of Manx highways
Disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic could be why fewer motorists are happy with Manx roads.
That's according to Infrastructure Minister Tim Baker after just 28% of those taking part in a UK-operated survey rated the condition of local highways as satisfactory.
Less than a fifth of the 3,300 Manx residents asked to take part in the study responded.
Mr Baker says other issues have been more pressing:
Victoria Road reopens following fire at unoccupied property
Public asked to avoid area while emergency services continue their work
Eating disorders 'more common than people realise' on the Isle of Man
Charity launching new support group for parents and carers of those navigating eating disorders
Warning about effects of nicotine pouches on youngsters
Social media sees products rise in popularity
Mineral deposits 'worth exploring but possibly not large enough for commercial success'
Geologist discusses opportunities on the Isle of Man
