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:
Rushen MHK calls for progress on 20mph zones in south
Dan Kneen Charitable Fund calls off popular 24hr cycling event
First election candidate for Douglas North declares intention to stand
Allinson: "I still want to be involved in politics of local community"
