  • Arbory and Rushen Commissioners says residents left in 'void' over onshore windfarm

    The chair of Arbory and Rushen Commissioners says the lack of information about the Cair Vie windfarm is 'disappointing'. Kirrie Jenkins believes there's been no updates on Manx Utilities Earystane project since March last year and residents have been left in a 'void'.The local authority has written to Tynwald members asking them to 'scrutinise' Manx Utilities proposals before formal processes 'limit' their ability to engage.Mrs Jenkins says the board has been told an application for the project is 'imminent'. Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to her.

PERSPECTIVE:

  • Perspective 26.4.26 - April Tynwald highlights

    Perspective 26.4.26 - April Tynwald highlights In a relatively relaxed Tynwald sitting members appeared to be a little less argumentative than in recent sittings. Perhaps the calm before the election run in storm. Items discussed included a move to unify government’s land and property portfolio, the state of the economy and the National Insurance Fund, and the UK government’s decision not to recommend the Assisted Dying Bill for Royal Assent. We also hear about Sunday’s census and why it matters. Are we facing a constitutional crisis on the Assisted Dying Bill or is it just a constitutional embarrassment?

AGENDA: 

  • Agenda 27.4.26 - last week Tynwald debated the idea of a tourism levy and agreed to sell the old Castletown Police Station.

    Tynwald debated a couple of items about tourism last week. The Enterprise Minister brought a report to Tynwald on the possibility of introducing a tourism after being asked to do so by Tynwald. The report was received though not without some criticism from Onchan MHK Rob Callister. There was then a motion from Manx National Heritage on the sale of the old Castletown police station with the cash strapped heritage organisation unable to find a sustainable long term use for the building. Hear the conflicting views on these items on this week's Agenda. MNH clearly needs the money but would a tourism levy work for Manx tourism?
