Former Chief Minister urges local authorities to support retail sector
The Island's towns and villages have to offer free parking to support the retail sector.
That's the view of former Chief Minister and businessman Tony Brown.
He believes local authorities and government have to make areas outside Douglas attractive to shoppers in order for local shops to be successful.
However, the ex-Castletown MHK says some boards don't appreciate the effect their decisions have on nearby stores:
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
Fundraiser to keep St John Ambulance emergency fleet on the road
Ayre and Michael MHKs request meeting with commissioners over rates
