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:
MHK 'frustrated' at pace of progress over cigarettes and vaping products
Committee calling for generational ban
Island could experience the hottest June Day tomorrow
Currently, the record stands at 28.1 degrees and was recorded in 2023
Onchan residents brand offshore windfarm ‘travesty’ and ‘nothing but negative’
Commissioners organised a drop- in session for residents to learn more about scheme
Island residents in favour of social media ban for under 16s
'Quick poll' shows support for UK style restrictions
