£1.4 million to be spent
The policy and reform minister has defended the plan to spend £1.4 million to regenerate part of Douglas's high street.
It was recently announced work on Castle Street would start early next year, as part of the Lower Douglas Regeneration Scheme.
It's due to finish by mid-October.
Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas says the work is justified:
53 babies born on Island in August
Two sets of twins born at Noble's Hospital
Help give Buddy the best chance of a comfortable future
ManxSPCA launch fundraiser for dog who needs surgery
Queen's Pier restoration project to move into phase three
Raw materials purchased ahead of 50% jump in steel price
