Trial to be carried out by Ramsey
Chief Minister Allan Bell has announced a pilot scheme to enable the six Local Regeneration Committees to take on a wider remit.
Government says the move is in recognition of the success of the schemes in the Isle of Man’s towns and villages.
The Ramsey Regeneration Committee has agreed unanimously to undertake a short trial to see how the wider remit would work.
The new remit could include compiling more local economic information, and looking at schemes to bring vacant buildings back to life by prioritising projects.
Mr Bell says it's time to build on what has already been achieved:
Emergency services respond to incident at Douglas Port
Junction closed following collision between motorcyclist and car
Farmers' union calls for stronger legislation to tackle ongoing problem of sheep worrying
Steam train offers extra commuter service amid bus strikes
