Minister responds after just 28% say they're happy with condition of Manx highways
Disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic could be why fewer motorists are happy with Manx roads.
That's according to Infrastructure Minister Tim Baker after just 28% of those taking part in a UK-operated survey rated the condition of local highways as satisfactory.
Less than a fifth of the 3,300 Manx residents asked to take part in the study responded.
Mr Baker says other issues have been more pressing:
Two more weather warnings issued ahead of high tide
Amber warning for coastal overtopping and yellow alert for tidal flooding in Ramsey
Manannan sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Gale force eight winds expected later
Welbeck Hotel owner 'overwhelmed' by response to closure
