Douglas Council has given up attempting to arrange a presentation ceremony to formally confer the freedom of the borough on cycling superstar Mark Cavendish.
After well over two years of talking to agents to try and agree a mutually convenient date, it's been decided to hang the specially commissioned illuminated address in the town hall, and wait for Cav to get in touch.
Leader of the council David Christian says it's disappointing, and something of a slur:
MHKs agree to progress Bill removing Bishop's vote from Tynwald
It will now be signed by Tynwald members before receiving Royal Assent and being promulgated
Manx Utilities workers injured using cherry picker
One is continuing to receive treatment
Government adopts definition of antisemitism
Chief minister will take part in 'Candle in the Window' this evening
Douglas road shut due to falling roof tiles
Granville Street shut until Wednesday
