Items pose threat to countryside
The Manx Farmers' Union has welcomed a change in the law which bans the release of helium balloons and sky lanterns.
It's in a bid to combat litter, wildfires and the threat the items can pose to wildlife and livestock.
In 2014 the MFU called for them to be made illegal after a cow died from swallowing lantern wire.
Vice President Ean Parsons says they find the items at least once a week:
RCN nursing staff reject pay offer from Manx Care
51% vote 'no' to four percent pay offer
Advice offered after suspected Scabies outbreak
Skin condition caused by a tiny mite which is smaller than a pinhead
Man found with £4k of cannabis in hotel room
22-year-old handed suspended sentence
MP calls for Summerland inquiry
She wants UK Parliament to debate tragedy
