Council decides to 'scale down' event
Douglas Carnival will be returning this year but with a few significant changes.
Douglas Borough Council members were divided over the decision to run the parade along Loch Promenade only, rather than the full length of the promenade as in previous years.
Andrew Bentley is lead member Regeneration and Community, he thinks scaling-down the event could give it more impact:
Sailings cancelled due to predicted gales
Yellow weather warning for Thursday
Have your say on the future of the Island's plantations
DEFA launches consultation on its plans to move towards mixed, multi-age woodlands
Warning for 'disorderly' parents attending schools
Police tell people to follow 'appropriate channels' with concerns
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
Travel disruption likely
