Follows approval of £40,000 of funding by Treasury
A coal tar advisor has been appointed by the Department of Infrastructure in the hopes of solving the Island's issue with coal tar.
Its presence has held up a number of projects on the Island, including the construction of a roundabout at Balthane in Ballasalla to link the existing road with the new bypass.
But after £40,000 of funding was approved by Treasury, a dedicated advisor is now in post.
Infrastructure Minister, Michelle Haywood explains why they're needed:
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
