Rushen MHK Juan Watterson says politicians have finally found the will to do something about Queen's Pier in Ramsey after almost 20 years of wrangling, only to find there's no cash to refurbish it.
Yesterday, Tynwald debated the recommendations of a report on future options for the Victorian structure, which has lain unused for years and is in urgent need of repair and safety work.
The court rejected Mr Watterson's suggestion it should be demolished, but stopped short of approving the £9 million needed to bring it back into use.
Mr Watterson says spending just under £2 million for vital repairs means more may be done when government finances improve:
TT fans 'need to be able to book sailings far in advance'
Bride organising waste collection after Birchalls arrangement 'terminated'
DoI seeks to extend use of temporary silt removal and storage site
Chamber of Commerce calls on gov to address immigration challenges
Free Shingles jabs for over 65s still 'under review'
