Politicians should think holistically - Nutter
Douglas will be 'unrecognisable' if government proposals to shorten the horse tramway go through.
That's according to Julian Nutter, secretary of the Manx Electric Railway Society.
He's concerned there hasn't been a 'proper debate' on the future of horse trams, with a recent planning application for a new depot and stables at the Summerland site not being discussed in Tynwald.
Plans by for the redevelopment of Douglas promenade were narrowly defeated in the court - a combined vote will be held in January after the two chambers were divided on the issue.
Mr Nutter says the proposals will drastically change the landscape of the capital:
Local haulier says latest Steam Packet fuel surcharges can't be absorbed
The 'rapid growth' of parents delaying giving their children smartphones
Steam Packet adds more sailings to at risk list
Ramsey Commissioners says prospective candidates must 'care' about the town
