Politicians should think holistically - Nutter
Douglas will be 'unrecognisable' if government proposals to shorten the horse tramway go through.
That's according to Julian Nutter, secretary of the Manx Electric Railway Society.
He's concerned there hasn't been a 'proper debate' on the future of horse trams, with a recent planning application for a new depot and stables at the Summerland site not being discussed in Tynwald.
Plans by for the redevelopment of Douglas promenade were narrowly defeated in the court - a combined vote will be held in January after the two chambers were divided on the issue.
Mr Nutter says the proposals will drastically change the landscape of the capital:
John Wannenburgh: 'Commitment, compassion and an unwavering sense of duty'
Manx Utilities 'deeply saddened' by death of chairman
"Tynwald will be a less colourful place without John" says president
Douglas North MHK pays tribute to 'amazing friend'
