HoK to discuss condition of roads

Fri, 28 Jan 2011

The state of the Island's roads will be one of the main topics for discussion in next week's House of Keys sitting.

Onchan MHK Peter Karran will ask Treasury Minister Anne Craine how much money the Department of Infrastructure was allocated for road repair.

The question comes following December's weather conditions, which left many road surfaces with potholes.

Meanwhile, North Douglas MHK John Houghton will ask for more details on the defects at Richmond Hill.

Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne explained this week that a join between two sections of tarmac is raised, posing a danger to motorcyclists.
