Government takes weed problem seriously says Chief Minister
Financial constraints mean weeds on Island roads are 'not a top priority' for government.
Concerns have been expressed recently about the state of unsightly weeds on pavements and roads around the Island.
There's also a worry they could damage the surface and break up the road.
Responsibility for the issue has been moved from central to local government.
Chief Minister Allan Bell says this transfer may slow down a solution to the problem.
But, he says he takes it seriously and it does need addressing:

Sailings altered as 'ongoing dredging issues' lead to 'insufficient water depths in Douglas port'
Manx Care asks all GPs to formally adopt Jess's Rule
Government 'taking rising fuel prices seriously'
Motion to sell Old Castletown Police Station to be put before Tynwald
