Government left to 'pick up the pieces'
The Chief Minister stands by his comments that Douglas Borough Council has shifted the burden of the horse trams onto government.
Allan Bell spoke in the House of Keys this week (starting 25 Jan) after an emergency motion on the trams was brought forward by south Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft.
The corporation has rejected claims the decision to cease the traditional service was to make it someone else's problem.
Mr Bell says that simply isn't true:
Manxman won't return to service until end of September
Steam Packet says the situation is hugely disappointing
Onchan Commissioners won't be commenting on assault allegations
Social media post claims it happened following public meeting
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Nature of work keeping boat in dry dock goes unexplained
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Committee report accepted by Tynwald in court's final sitting
