But DED rejected plans for theatre trust
Local bids to run the Villa Marina and Gaiety Theatre will be welcomed by the Department of Economic Development - despite rejecting a plan to establish a trust for stakeholders.
The DED says it's currently making arrangements to seek out a contractor for the complex in the coming months.
Currently there are three UK-based parties showing interest.
But Minister Laurence Skelly says local stakeholders are being taken into account:
Future of Cummal Mooar to be discussed this week
DHSC to meet with stakeholders to determine next steps for residential home
Bishop thanks Manx public for 'enveloping cloud of love' during journey through grief
Tricia Hillas says she wanted to share her story publicly as grief can feel 'very isolating'
Parliament Street closed to vehicles due to suspected gas leak
Isle of Man Energy undertaking repair works in Ramsey
Amber weather warning in place tonight
Strong winds to combine with high tide
