Harmer responds to Peel Road concerns

Douglas Borough Council Leader David Christian says congestion on the road at times is bad enough as it is thanks to McDonalds being there, without more outlets being added, and says many people have contacted him saying they agree.
But Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer disagrees:
