Treasury Minister says roads aren't ignored
Alfred Cannan says the Manx government is spending money to ensure Manx roads are in a good condition.
He made the comments while offering a response to the latest UK budget announcement, which includes billions of pounds for road repairs.
On Mandate this morning, Mr Cannan insisted funds are made available, but it's up to the Department of Infrastructure to decide where it goes.
The Treasury Minister pointed to a number of recent and ongoing projects as proof the issue doesn't go ignored:
Rapid bed review finds 'deep rooted behavioural and cultural issues' at Noble's Hospital
'Iconic' 250-year-old Ballaugh elm trees felled due to disease
Report published following rapid review of bed capacity at Noble’s Hospital
'Big discussions' to be had over whether Isle of Man follows UK-style social media ban
