New members appointed to Tynwald committee

Maska, Perkins and Poole-Wilson to provide Douglas promenade scheme scrutiny

Three new members have been added to a Tynwald committee to help investigate the impact of the works on Douglas promenade.

The Island's parliament agreed to appoint additional members to the Environment and Infrastructure Policy Review Committee at this month's sitting.

Five members were put forward, with Marlene Maska, Martyn Perkins and Jane Poole-Wilson being voted in.

The committee needed a new member as Rob Callister has temporarily stepped down due to a conflict of interest with his role in the Department for Enterprise, but Julie Edge put forward an amendment to make it three, which was backed by the court.

The trio join Douglas East MHKs Chris Robertshaw and Clare Barber on the panel.
