Minister says workforce has reduced over time
The Infrastructure Minister is hoping efforts to better maintain Manx roads will improve going into the future.
Tim Crookall says the DOI has around 100 staff to carry out roadworks, down from around 300 in previous years.
A new app was launched in late November allowing members of the public to report the likes of potholes, missing signs and faded road markings.
Mr Crookall is aiming to ramp up the amount of workers able to maintain highways:
