Members wants issues to be considered by DEFA
Traffic issues and additional litter must be considered when allowing fast food outlets to open branches on the Isle of Man.
That's the view of an MHK, who's raising a number of concerns on the subject at this month's sitting of Tynwald.
Middle MHK Bill Shimmins' queries follow plans by KFC and Starbucks to open outlets near to McDonald's on Peel Road in Douglas.
He insists these matters can't be ignored:
Manx Utilities says ‘strong hedging’ strategy limits exposure to gas price surge
Chair tells Tynwald forward buying has shielded Island from volatility following Middle East escalation
Noble's Emergency Department is 'safe' but 'too small by modern standards'
Manx Care says work ongoing to manage demand in the short-term
Police investigating RTC in Laxey last month
Officers want to speak to the driver
Manx Radio reports financial loss amidst ‘continued market uncertainty’
Loss of around £20k reported by national broadcaster
