Call for work to start without delay
A form of compromise - but a good one.
That's how MHK Chris Robertshaw has described his amendment to plans for Douglas promenade.
The trams will now run the entire length of the promenade - but with just a single line from the war memorial to the Sea Terminal.
Mr Robertshaw's amendment was supported in Tynwald yesterday by 17 votes to 14 in a combined vote.
Speaking on Mandate (18 Jan) he said government now needs to get on with the work:
John Wannenburgh: 'Commitment, compassion and an unwavering sense of duty'
Tributes following the unexpected death of Douglas North MHK
Manx Utilities 'deeply saddened' by death of chairman

"Tynwald will be a less colourful place without John" says president
Watterson describes Wannenburgh as 'devoted' to constituents

Wannenburgh had 'biggest heart of anyone I've ever met' says Ashford
