How often does the DOI make sure drains and gullies are cleared on the Douglas to Ramsey Coast Road?

Garff MHK Daphne Caine will put her question to Infrastructure Minister, Ray Harmer MHK, when the House of Keys returns from its summer recess next week.

Mrs Caine also wants to know when specifically it's been carried out on the highway around the Minorca Hill junction in Laxey, the Corony and the Rest and Be Thankful at Maughold in the past four years.

Keys members are due to convene in Douglas on Tuesday, October 22, from 10am.
