MHK defends proposals
An MHK looking to reform the Island's planning system says he's doing it because people want to be heard when it comes to decisions which affect them.
Malew and Santon member Graham Cregeen narrowly got the backing of his House of Keys colleagues yesterday - 12-10 in favour - to grant him leave to introduce a private member's bill.
It will explore the possibility of giving communities a greater say in planning for their area.
Mr Cregeen denies such a system would be too obstructive or bureaucratic:
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
King Gaming's license suspended amidst criminal investigation
Hopes new unit will reduce amount of time patients spend in hospital
Housing, VAT, climate and tourism among concerns raised by the East in government roadshow
Skills Strategy hopes to tackle 'significant' skills shortage
