Businesses of every kind will become responsible for keeping the areas outside their premises free of litter, if proposed new regulations are introduced.
The tighter controls would affect offices, factories, shops and take-aways and are being welcomed by Douglas Borough Council, which has been calling for a tougher stance for some time.
At present the Corporation is responsible for keeping such areas tidy when they are in public places, but Works Committee chairman Ritchie McNicholl says there's no reason why the Town Hall should continue to carry the can:
CoMin making 'significant and determined efforts' to implement recommendations from Ranson review
Rain events 'difficult to forecast' on the Isle of Man
Planning permission granted for 26 industrial units
Port St Mary Commissioners urging residents not to 'struggle in silence'
