The New Castletown Road will be closed between Fort North roundabout as far as the junction with Annacur Lane this weekend.

The closure comes into place from 6am tomorrow (Saturday, February 1), with the road shut until no later than 6pm on Sunday (February 2).

Douglas City Council has arranged the felling a number of road-side trees which are suffering ash die back and are considered to be at risk of falling onto the highway.

The closures will be lifted once the works are completed.
