MHK questions the detail included in new plans for regeneration
A Ramsey MHK has described new plans to revitalise towns and villages on the Isle of Man as a ‘blank cheque’ for government to spend money.
Lawrie Hooper told Manx Radio he doesn't believe there will be enough oversight of the Local Economy Strategy.
Businesses, local authorities and town groups will be able to apply for £2.4 million of available funding to try and enhance the Island’s high streets.

The Department for Enterprise says the strategy will reduce the number of empty properties in town centres, increase footfall, and improve the Island's urban areas.
Mr Hooper says whilst the strategy is ‘really needed’ it is lacking in detail:
Children's Champion calls for 'meaningful change' for kids with complex needs
Assisted Dying Bill passes final stage in LegCo
Plans to continue using temporary car park refused
More than £2 million spent on new Castle Rushen High School plans
