Minister's statement to Tynwald members
A senior government minister says there's lots to be done in the reform of the planning system on the Island.
Chris Thomas made a statement on the matter to Tynwald yesterday (15 May), with the Area Plan for the East due to be published later this month.
Mr Thomas admits the number of brownfield sites is high, but says there's a wider range of issues to focus on:
Man fined for facilitating immigration breaches
He has been banned from the Island for five years
Commissioner can't investigate health complaint
Not all internal avenues have been exhaustedÂ
Still a 'huge stigma' preventing men opening up about mental health
Calls for more investment to prevent people reaching crisis point
Businesses' footfall decreased due to storms last month
Ramsey stores discuss how the weather affected trade
