The leader of Douglas Borough Council says it's about to get tough with those who infringe its bylaws.
David Christian says the time for education and warnings is over when it comes to the likes of littering, dog fouling and antisocial behaviour.
Fewer than twenty fixed penalty notices were issued by the council's wardens last year, despite them dealing with well over 800 cases.
Mr Christian says certain problem areas have been chosen:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Work to tackle problems taking longer than anticipated
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Ballaugh, Bride, Garff and Jurby Commissioners all seeking additional members
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Chief Exec insists the situation is 'improving'
Weekend sailings at risk
SPC warns poor weather could lead to disruption or cancellations
