Trial to be carried out by Ramsey
Chief Minister Allan Bell has announced a pilot scheme to enable the six Local Regeneration Committees to take on a wider remit.
Government says the move is in recognition of the success of the schemes in the Isle of Man’s towns and villages.
The Ramsey Regeneration Committee has agreed unanimously to undertake a short trial to see how the wider remit would work.
The new remit could include compiling more local economic information, and looking at schemes to bring vacant buildings back to life by prioritising projects.
Mr Bell says it's time to build on what has already been achieved:
Trial for man who denies being controlling and coercive
Glen Maye patient airlifted to the UK
Visitors asked to avoid main cemetery entrance on Sunday
Onchan man accused of committing act against public justice
Douglas Council using reserves to pay for 'decorative' promenade lighting
New count system used for PSM by-election
