Committee seeks support for 19 recommendations
Politicians are being asked to approve new recommendations which aim to enhance protections for the Isle of Man's built heritage.
The Select Committee on Built Heritage has handed over 19 suggestions after uncovering 'alarming' statistics highlighting an erosion of the Island's 'cultural fabric'.
The recommendations see Tynwald 'reaffirm' its commitment to protecting historic environments, but also redefines 'demolition' to be classed as 'development' instead.
Former MLC Marlene Maska - who was speaking as a witness in the chamber - said this was a 'really important' issue:
New vaping laws come into force
Isle of Man TT 2024 gets underway today
Steam Packet passenger numbers up for TT
TT visitors advised 'know your limits'
Fines for Douglas duo who acted like 'children in a playground'
Unmarked patrols catch a dozen motorists speeding in one day
