Cannan wants people to focus on creating 5,000 new jobs
People who are critical of government’s plan to increase the population to 100,000 are ‘missing the point’ of the Economic Strategy.
That’s the view of the chief minister who says critics should focus on the plan to create 5,000 new jobs instead.

Fire service begins new year with three-call outs
Increase in demand at Noble's Hospital over last decade
Strand Street clothing store to shut at end of the month
Onchan newsagents to shut its doors in February
