Second Isle of Man harbour flood warning lifted

Flood defences were deployed at Castletown Harbour to protect nearby properties

A second warning for flooding around inner harbour areas on the Isle of Man due to high spring tides and strong winds has come to an end.

The Department of Infrastructure had called for residents and businesses to deploy flood defences in Ramsey, Douglas and Castletown.

The conditions were also expected to cause coastal overtopping in several areas around high tide at 12:29 GMT.

The amber weather warning remained in place until 14:00.

West Quay in Ramsey was closed as the tide rose higher than the harbour wall, leading to minor flooding on part of the carriageway.

Castletown Promenade and Shore Road in Laxey were also closed due to coastal overtopping.

Water flowed on to part of the quayside in Ramsey at high tide

Flood barriers had been put back in place in the northern and southern towns, and sandbags were once again made available to residents and businesses in the affected areas.

A spokesman for Ronaldsway Met Office previously said flooding was expected on the Tongue in Douglas, with the possibility of some water seeping on to North Quay and Lake Road.

Coastal roads, including Shore Road in Rushen and parts of Douglas Promenade, had also expected to be hit by overtopping of sea water and debris.

It follows similar disruption on Wednesday.
