  • Roads Long and Medium Term Plans
    Highway Services - Roads Medium & Long Term priorities Updated : 19/03/21 (TC) Preface This document outlines the current road priorities across each type of road on the roads hierarchy. The roads hierarchy is available on the Department's website, and represents the relative importance of roads to the Island's network. More spend proportionally is expected on the more important routes which provide strategic routes for the Island. This is a working document that is subject to change. Any dates provided are only indicative, roads may be How do you identify future works? based on their condition and types of treatment available, and also other factors such as bus routes, racing courses and traffic volumes. Why are all the high priority works not undertaken first? Some roads may require more complex works than others. Major undertakings may require a capital bid where it is not possible to fund from the general maintenance fund. For example, roads with underlying concrete slabs that have failed require extensive reconstruction and may require a capital scheme. There may also be other considerations such as other works on the network or future schemes in the same area. Some works may require further investigation or other improvements (such as kerbing or drainage) before they can be Why is my road not on the list? We prioritise roads based on the factors identified above against the budget available. Residential roads are prioritised separately through the residential roads refurbishment programme. Why do you use other methods that do not last as long as full resurfacing? The most cost effective way to manage our road assets is through using the appropriate solution, which often includs preventative maintenance before full resurfacing is required.

  • Centenary Curragh Chapel 1958
    THE CENTENARY OF THE BALLAUGH CURRAGH CHAPEL * (1958) 1 One feature of the Manx countryside is the number of Methodist Chapels. Most are now closed and stand forlorn, their need gone as the numbers have ebbed from the land along with the increased secularisation of society. The centenary of a Chapel was the occasion for celebration often in the form of commorative booklet with snippets of the history of the chapel in question. Newspapers also carried accounts as here with the Ballaugh Curragh Chapel which was founded in 1858 and so was celebrating its own first hundred years of existence in 1958. The land on which such a chapel was built was a gift from two of the local landowners and in the case of the Curragh Chapel the original chapel was originally a sod-built one and was erected in just three days. The coming of the harmonium is often mentioned as this ended the practice of unaccompanied hymn singing and the need for someone to raise the tune. Here, it was William Kaighen of Close Rhennie, Ballaugh, one of the original * Originally published as Stephen Miller, “The Curragh Chapel (1958),” Ballaugh Heritage Trust Newsletter 17 (2019), 17–26. 1 the curragh chapel (1958) trustees, who performed that task.
