Non-Believer Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I'd say the whole Island is damaged by Ian Longworth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Just off on a slight tangent but looking at the mess along the prom following the weekend weather, couldn't help but think a lot of the debris could be avoided quite easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monasqueen Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Looking at lots of shredded sandbags along the Prom, then looking at the work going on to clear the masses of sand...... There is more than enough sand to fill lots more sandbags... But do it soon, before Storm Dennis comes rolling in. There were loads of big stones, too. Anyone want to build a rock garden?

Dave Hedgehog Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I saw a worker by the Spar today trying to shovel water into a wheelbarrow. Tremendous scenes. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the cheaper option for the interim would be to run a bulldozer down the entire length of the prom from opposite the Villa to the Queens hotel. Put a two foot gap between the beach and the walkway. Won't stop the water but will reduce the number of rocks all over the prom. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could probably be done for a fraction of the cost of bulldozing seaweed back into the sea every day too... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree run a bulldozer the length of the prom and start again would be a good idea ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amongst those clearing up yesterday there was a digger on the beach that managed to build a nice “ramp” so the sand & stone on the beach now gently slopes up to be level with the walkway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On The Bus Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 It now appears the existing gas main has been damaged/cocked up leading to their latest dig site being abandoned. If any visitor asks what's going on along the Prom this summer, I'm just telling them Tony Robinson and the Time Team are in town. https://www.facebook.com/2163403463905849/posts/2505913286321530/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebean Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The most incredible thing about the Promenade is that the obvious and complete clusterfuck that is going on there is still being presented as a Scheme. The only people they are fooling are the people that are happy to be fooled and sit in Tynwald. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
