Residents give views on govt reductions
There's been some detailed and considered responses to the first SAVE scheme drop-in session at Castletown Library - which took place earlier today (THU).
That's according to Douglas North MHK David Ashford - who was on-hand to meet residents, and discuss their thoughts on government cost reductions.
He says he's encouraged by the event turnout, and says it's important to get advice from those with first-hand sector-by-sector knowledge.
The SAVE initiative looks to save government £25 million over the next five years.
Mr Ashford insists members of the public have already responded with some interesting ideas:
More commuter trains to be offered amid bus strikes
Post Office reports stronger profits but warns of major changes
More than 1,200 abortions on Island since change in law
Teenagers praised for litter-picking efforts
