£1.4 million to be spent
The policy and reform minister has defended the plan to spend £1.4 million to regenerate part of Douglas's high street.
It was recently announced work on Castle Street would start early next year, as part of the Lower Douglas Regeneration Scheme.
It's due to finish by mid-October.

Incident involved a car and a motorbike on Saturday afternoon
Child Benefit uplift comes into effect
Income thresholds increased for 'the first time in a decade'
Current financial climate 'frightening' for Manx farmers
Lack of on Island market and export costs among concerns for farming sector
Mountain Road closes today
Closure in place 24 hours a day until Friday
