£1.4 million to be spent
The policy and reform minister has defended the plan to spend £1.4 million to regenerate part of Douglas's high street.
It was recently announced work on Castle Street would start early next year, as part of the Lower Douglas Regeneration Scheme.
It's due to finish by mid-October.
Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas says the work is justified:
Manx Care forecasting £8.1m overspend for 2026-27
Staffing costs, homelessness and underdelivery of savings among factors affecting finances
Tynwald to be asked to approve horse tram tracks funding
Infrastructure minister will ask for £2.5million for project
