Politics brought on to the streets
One of the three public speakers addressing the crowds gathered for yesterday's 'Time is Now' march in Douglas praised those attending for bringing politics to the streets.
Devon Watson of the Climate Change Coalition spoke about the Fare-Free Campaign for free public transport - one of the 'asks' demonstrators put to Tynwald at the end of the march.
He had a message for the Island's politicians:
Construction costs on the Island 18% above UK average and comparable with Outer London
'Key problems' include reliance on imported materials, labour shortages and planning delays
Wind farm debate to continue before committee
Meeting held on Monday garnered mixed opinions
Call for compensation scheme for workers who become ill after contact with asbestos
The legislation would mirror a scheme operating in the UK
Third candidate to stand for election in Douglas South
Livia Lenarduzzi hopes to gain a seat in the House of Keys
