Local volunteer discusses challenges of festive period
Samaritans take as many calls, if not more, over the festive period.
That's from local volunteer Leslie Moughtin, who has been taking calls for six years.
The service operates 24 hours a day all year round, offering support for those dealing with a range of issues.
She told the Mannin Line there's always demand:
Met Office issues coastal overtopping warning
Next two high tides expected to impact coastal areas
Questions raised about airport's safety and workplace culture
Government defends facility amid claims of cultural and operational issues
Garff Commissioners introduces street light scheme to be more 'proactive'
Local Authority says replacements can cost up to £800
Douglas Council purchases seven EVs for 'fleet renewal' programme
The local authority says these are replacing 'ageing' diesel vehicles
