The Department of Infrastructure doesn't have enough money to maintain all of the Isle of Man's roads to a high standard
That's the frank statement from Director of Highways Richard Pearson.
After an extremely wet summer, and bad flooding recently, more damage than usual has been reported around the Island.
But Mr Pearson says with a limited budget they have to prioritise what they can do:
Loganair passengers escorted from aircraft after smoke reported at Ronaldsway
Flight bound for Birmingham was cancelled earlier today
Works planned for Douglas junction late this evening
DoI confirms repairs set for Bath place and Peveril Square
Freight services uninterrupted says Steam Packet
Ben-My-Chree currently 'carrying all freight requirements'
Greeba road closed to remove large tree
DoI shuts road towards Ballacraine Cross Roads
