Potholes patched after daffodil planting protest
Potholes that had been plaguing a high street have been patched over after a daffodil planting protest.
Michelle Haywood MHK had planted the flowers in parts of Port St Mary High Street on Saturday to attract attention to the works required.
They were later patched over by the Department of Infrastructure.
Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall previously confirmed the carriageway had failed and a bid was being made for funding for its reconstruction.
Ms Haywood said while the patching was temporary, she had now had “productive discussions” with the infrastructure minister about a permanent solution.
While the Rushen MHK had threatened to continue to plant seasonal flowers in the holes until the road was fixed, she said the patching work “might delay me buying geraniums for the summer planting”.
However, she noted: “This is a temporary solution to some of the very worst holes, and doesn’t take away from the need to get the road replacement scheme approved and funded.”
