Gawne says compromise becoming harder to achieve
The Infrastructure Minister has expressed frustration with the continued stalling of development on Douglas Promenade.

But Phil Gawne maintains his Department's idea was the safest, most suitable solution for stakeholders.
He says plans have become a political logjam:

New figures show a 70 percent increase in complaints, with both government and the health ombudsman calling for continued focus on staff values and patient engagement
