Junior Tynwald included some searching questions about 20mph zones, health spending and government spending on water and electricity infrastructure. On Agenda we’ll hear these questions and those we’ve not yet squeezed in to previous programs. We also hear from Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson - a former Junior Tynwald member on the importance of this annual sitting and what Tynwald members get up to when sittings stop for the summer recess. Keys members do like to be beside the seaside but they’ve got plenty of hefty committee reports as their holiday reading.

PERSPECTIVE:

Perspective 21.9.25 - consultation on a new strategic plan.
There’s a consultation happening now on a new strategic plan which, according to Cabinet Office Minister David Ashford, will help build great communities, protect our environment, and promote sustainable development. The new strategic plan will probably be in place until 2041 and will cement the core planning policies which will affect our lives and the appearance of the Island in which we live. If you care about the future of our Island this is probably the most important consultation you’ll ever fill in. Whatever you think of our government this is a once in a generation opportunity to have your say on this vital plan.
