But DED rejected plans for theatre trust
Local bids to run the Villa Marina and Gaiety Theatre will be welcomed by the Department of Economic Development - despite rejecting a plan to establish a trust for stakeholders.
The DED says it's currently making arrangements to seek out a contractor for the complex in the coming months.
Currently there are three UK-based parties showing interest.
But Minister Laurence Skelly says local stakeholders are being taken into account:
Castletown residents invited to view Buchan School redevelopment plans
Hartford Homes to hold a pre-application public consultation at Castletown Town Hall
Petition to ban electric shock collars on Island pets reaches 800 signatures
ManxSPCA calls for a renewed government consultation and a full ban on shock-based training devices
Officers and partner agencies praised following immigration fraud conviction
Fraudster jailed following Operation Helios
QEII student represents youth in House of Commons
Jasper Emery selected as Manx voice for UK Youth Parliament scheme
