Douglas Borough Council puts six up for auction
A heritage transport group says it's disappointed Douglas Borough Council is selling off six horse trams.
The council says the trams are all in need of renovation and have been deemed no longer essential for historic or operational purposes.
Stuart Mullan of Friends of Douglas Bay Horse Tramway says it's also a shame the auction is being done so soon:
