DoI urged to draw up bus station plan 'as a matter of priority'

Report on proposals expected in December

Politicians have called for the Department of Infrastructure to draw up a detailed plan for the re-establishment of bus facilities in Douglas as a matter of 'priority'.

Timetables, toilet services, lighting, seating, Wi-Fi and availability of refreshments are among the items included in the remit, but is not limited to those facilities.

A subsequent report will be debated during December's sitting of the court and work should not await the completion of the Lord Street site.

Douglas Central MHK Chris Thomas wants the plans to be fully costed by that date:

Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall says he 'fully supports' the motion.
