Community, Culture and Leisure Minister Graham Cregeen says he hopes talks can resume soon aimed at averting further strikes in the Island’s bus service.
Today is the second day of industrial action by drivers over plans to cut paid lunch breaks as the department tries to slash £300,000 from its budget.
Mr Cregeen says valuable lessons were learned yesterday as replacement services were hit by traffic accidents and poor weather.
But he says negotiations are currently on hold:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Programme is for eligible Year 13 students and under-25s
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Price tag has jumped up by £600,000 since scheme was first approved
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
RNLI crew tows vessel back into harbour
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
Police say there's no indication of any wider risk to the public
