MANX NEWSCAST: 

  • Plans for new sheltered housing building in Laxey progressing

    Plans are progressing for a new sheltered housing building and commissioner's office space in Laxey. Garff Commissioners is hoping to take over the former Princes Motors site to build new accommodation for residents and is due to submit a planning application soon. The local authority wants to fund the site partly from the housing deficiency fund from government and from the sale of its current building - which it's hoped will mean rates won't be as affected. Julie Mattin, who runs the local authority's Cooil Roi property, says it 'breaks her heart' to tell people there's a two year wait for accommodation in the area. She's been speaking to Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper.

AGENDA: 

  • Agenda 24.11.25 - the Area Plan for the North and West defeated in an extraordinary Tynwald vote.

    The Area Plan for the North and West would have completed the planning picture for the Island but it was defeated in and extraordinary vote in Tynwald with both Keys and LegCo tied - 12 - 12 and 4 - 4 which meant the President of Tynwald had to use his casting vote which by convention means voting against change? So what happened in Tynwald and why did Tynwald vote to defeat this plan which was the result of around five years hard work by officers. On Agenda we hear some of the highlights of this unprecedented debate. Was there some filibustering going on? Was government complacent? Were the Tynwald members who voted against right to demand facts and detail to back up the shaky housing figures?

MANX RADIO MANNIN LINE:

  • It’s Mannin Line with Alex Brindley - Monday 24th November 2025

    Nanny state gone mad when Government is deciding if your kids can have ketchup at school or laudable actions to improve public health?... MiCards and are EVs the reason behind 20mph speed limits?... or are we just repeating history? All that on today's open line with Alex in for Andy.

PERSPECTIVE:

  • Perspective - Should the Island be worried about MONEYVAL?

    What some thought would be a quick and relatively pain free Tynwald sitting turned into a two-and-a-half day marathon which saw all manner of unexpected and shock votes.Castle Rushen High School, MONEYVAL, disincentives to maintain empty properties and MiCard are just a few of the biggest talking points.Christian Jones goes through them in a bit more detail in Perspective.
