A sluice gate has been removed from Laxey River today by the Department of Infrastructure.

It follows on from Tuesday's flooding in the area, when branches and other debris were washed down stream and causing more damage due to getting stuck by the weir.

There is currently a Yellow Weather Warning in place from 4pm until 8am tomorrow, with heavy rain expected with localised flooding.

Speaking to Energy FM yesterday in laxey, Martyn Perkins MHK shared his views on the sluice gate:
