Edmund Southworth discusses Laxey Wheel repairs
Old age is the main reason for the troubles facing one of the Island's most historic landmarks, according to the Director of Manx National Heritage.
The Laxey Wheel stopped turning in September after two separate failures needing to be repaired.
MNH and Treasury have agreed a deal to split the cost of restoring The Lady Isabella, aiming to have the waterwheel turning again by next year's tourist season.
Going forward, MNH Director Edmund Southworth told Alex Wotton more, frequent intervention is not the answer:
No increase in domestic gas prices for rest of 2026
Law targeting sale of nicotine pouches takes step further
Procurement process for Kirk Onchan Post Office continuing
Bus station will not be moved to the Sea Terminal
Forum explores what domestic abuse looks like on the Isle of Man
