Two properties evacuated due to landslide concerns

Emergency road closure order in place by DOI

Residents in two properties in Laxey have been advised to evacuate their homes following a landslide over the weekend. 

Garff Commissioners says the houses, on Old Laxey Hill have also been disconnected from services by Island Energy and Manx Utilities as a 'precaution'. 

An emergency road closure order has also been put in place for seven days along a short section of Laxey Promenade to the south of The Shed. 

It comes after a landslide at the former End Cafe site, which is currently cordoned off but is still experiencing rock falls.
