Warning over driving on closed roads

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Police say they will deal with motorists 'robustly' if they are caught driving on closed roads.

Officers say they have received numerous complaints - particularly about drivers using the Tholt y Will Road and Peveril Road in Peel.

Peveril Road was closed last week after the road collapsed.

The Department of Infrastructure says it was due to a void forming along the line of the sewer which was made worse by the recent wet weather.

Repair work started yesterday - a diversion is in place while the work is carried out.
