70th anniversary of the event
Peel is gearing up for its 70th carnival today (6 August).
Roads around the Promenade and East Quay closed at 10am - with the grand parade scheduled to start at 2pm.
It's the first carnival for two years after an enforced break because of the Covid pandemic.
Organiser Ian Baker believes the secret to a successful event is simple:
Town centre footfall to be monitored as part of retail support scheme
Multi-million pound strategy approved earlier this year
Delays to Manannan sailings between Douglas and Liverpool
Trips delayed by up to an hour
'Every second counts' when responding to an emergency
Fire Service urges people to park considerately
Police appeal for witnesses following Peel Coast Road collision
Incident involved a car and a motorbike on Saturday afternoon
Spring Covid-19 vaccine rollout begins
Programme to run until July with appointments available for select groups
