Action promised over village 'eyesore'
The infrastructure minister has promised action over concerns in Foxdale about a site residents say has become a major eyesore.
It's claimed an area on the corner of Mines Road has been left in a dangerous and ugly state, after the department demolished a building in a scheme to improve visibility.
Phil Gawne says its work at the former Tackle Box premises is only temporary and further improvements are in the pipeline.
Patrick Commissioners have accused the DoI of planning breaches and called for immediate action to complete the job properly.
Voters in Foxdale have been raising concerns with candidates in next week's Glenfaba by-election, David Talbot and Geoffrey Boot.
Minister Gawne says it's only a temporary fix:
Reducing hospitality VAT would 'directly affect' provision of frontline services
Bishop important to the Island, admits Ramsey MHK
No conversations with UK over a reduction in VAT rates for hospitality businesses planned
Douglas coffee shop announces closure
