Given the risk associated with the storm force winds, the government is advising people to stay at home if possible during the period of the red warning and to only travel if it is absolutely necessary
As a result, a decision has been taken that:
- Schools will be closed on Friday
- There will be no Bus Vannin services between 7 am and 2 pm on Friday
- The A18 Mountain Road will be closed from 5 am on Friday
- Police will monitor the Mountain Road throughout Thursday night and will issue a closure earlier if required
- High sided vehicles should avoid the Mountain Road from midnight tonight
- All plantations and glens will be closed from 10 pm tonight until 6 pm Saturday to allow for some assessment after the storm
- Government public counters will be closed
Downed trees which are causing travel disruption should be reported to the DOI on 672000. The Public are reminded not to approach any downed power lines, and should report any issues to Manx Utilities on 687687.
