Claire Christian says high rent costs need to be addressed
An MHK says Douglas high street could become a ghost town if rent prices aren't addressed.
Douglas South MHK Claire Christian, who also owns Claire Christian Couture on Victoria Street, has a question in Keys on what can be done to save the retail sector.
It's as 19 jobs at Burton, Dorothy Perkins, and Wallis in the capital have been lost, as physical stores were left out of the Boohoo buy-out deal of the Arcadia Group brands.
Mrs Christian says the results could be dramatic:
Onchan election result stands but Edge loses votes
'Not realistic' to say road fuel increases create a specific windfall in VAT
