MHK wants action to lessen impact on local hotels and restaurants
A member of a Tynwald committee looking at the impact of the Douglas promenade refurbishment scheme on local businesses has described the situation as a "developing crisis".
Chris Robertshaw is on the Environment and Infrastructure Policy Review Committee, which has been taking evidence from hoteliers and restaurant owners affected by the works.
Some reported the scheme has already resulted in a 15-20% drop in trade.
The Douglas East MHK is calling for action to be taken now:
Appropriate accommodation needs to be provided for prison leavers
Dental waiting list 'in its entirety' to be allocated to Hillside clinic
'Large amount of work' still to be done on new secondary school plans
SPC expected to object to tidal power plans in Liverpool
