Minister responds after just 28% say they're happy with condition of Manx highways
Disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic could be why fewer motorists are happy with Manx roads.
That's according to Infrastructure Minister Tim Baker after just 28% of those taking part in a UK-operated survey rated the condition of local highways as satisfactory.
Less than a fifth of the 3,300 Manx residents asked to take part in the study responded.
Mr Baker says other issues have been more pressing:
Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Police are appealing for witnesses
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
But not every member was on board with the plans
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
