MHK calls for government to do more to help struggling traders
Government needs to support small businesses if it wants them to be around in 12 months.
That's from Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh, who says government is duty bound to help those impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Treasury Minister David Ashford recently said the current round of financial support is likely to be the last unless 'something drastic' were to change.
But Mr Wannenburgh says more has to be done:
Skills Strategy hopes to tackle 'significant' skills shortage
Part of Island Plan to create and fill 5,000 new jobs by 2032
Loganair to remove Saturday service to Birmingham
Temporary changes take effect in May
Trial for Douglas man who denies keying car

Southern Pool board welcomes assurances over site's future
