Further protest march planned later this month
A local campaigner says whatever the outcome of a Tynwald debate on the climate 'emergency' tomorrow, public protest on the issue will continue.
Louise Whitelegg, who is Regional Coordinator for Christian Aid on the Island, has helped organise the Manx 'Time is Now' march later this month.
Coinciding with a parallel event in the UK, demonstrators will put three 'asks' to the Manx government:
1) Keeps fossil fuels in the ground
2) Fossil fuel divestment - ethical investment
3) the 'fare free' campaign for free public transport
Ahead of that Tynwald debate, Mrs Whitelegg told Dollin Mercer more about the march:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
