[Didn't Mr Dowty die?

Yes.

I spotted this on FB. Dreadful. How can a media professional make such an error?

Try to look on the bright side. The radar is still working...........is it?

I thought PE commissioners were against it.

 

As Declan pointed out in the democracy thread they're against everything.

Example of joined up thinking says Minister

The Infrastructure Minister believes his department's handling of current road issues shows a more "joined up" way of thinking.

Laurence Skelly says an investigation is currrently underway to work out what caused the extensive flooding on Peel Road at the weekend, while an major scheme in Port Erin is also being revisited.

Mr Skelly says everyone wants the best quality possible and they are working with private contractors to try and achieve that.

He adds it is better to sort out issues now, rather than weeks down the line.

The thinking on this one certainly wasn't "joined up."

The Port Erin problem was spotted by Gizo on MF over a month ago, but it took teams of experts and a heavy rain shower before they saw their mistake.

 

Anything in common with Peel Road (subcontractors, same types of material/mix etc.)?

It was Island Drainage & Groundworks that did Finch Rd, which by pure coincidence is the same contractor responsible for the section of Peel Rd from QB to Ballakermeen.

 

They seem to know a lot more about Government Procurement than they do about making roads.

Currently they also seem to be experts on fitting new kitchens in government/commissioners' houses in Castletown. Let's hope they get an expert in to take care of the sink waste pipes.

After seeing Peel road this morning think Island Drainage and Groundworks should drop the Drainage bit from their Company name!

Doesn't "Drainage" refer to taking the P?

John Moss also referred to Pool Road, which I think is perfect and should stick.

Unless there's a financial advantage, why would a producer choose the added expense and inconvenience of filming here rather than in Wales..........
