Work to reduce the flood risk on the river in Laxey will get underway today.

 

Both Manx Utilities and the Department of Infrastructure are involved in the building of a debris catcher across a section of the river at Glen Roy.

 

The scheme, which will use three-metre-high timber posts, is designed to prevent trees and branches forming blockages downstream.

 

Nine will be set into two staggered rows collecting debris up-river, away from properties.

 

Garff Commissioners says the public footpaths in the area will remain open.
