Dredging issue needs attention - MHK
A Douglas MHK says he's concerned at what he sees as lack of progress on a new ferry terminal in Liverpool.
David Ashford asked for an update on progress in Tynwald yesterday.
Tynwald gave approval last year to purchase Princes Half-Tide dock at a cost of £3.5 million, for a new terminal to repalce the exisiting Pier Head facility, half a mile up-river.
Minister Ray Harmer told the Court proposals to build a new terminal at the dock are at a very early stage, and its suitability has yet to be confirmed by a recently-formed project team.
Mr Ashford had concerns about dredging in particular, and now believes the issue needs to be prioritised:
Infrastructure minister reports poll after it called for her to be removed with a shotgun
IOM Medical Society opposes plans to implement an NHS levy
No changes to speed limit enforcement with new 20mph zones
MUA to undertake 'significant' refurb at Cringle Reservoir
