Follows approval of £40,000 of funding by Treasury
A coal tar advisor has been appointed by the Department of Infrastructure in the hopes of solving the Island's issue with coal tar.
Its presence has held up a number of projects on the Island, including the construction of a roundabout at Balthane in Ballasalla to link the existing road with the new bypass.
But after £40,000 of funding was approved by Treasury, a dedicated advisor is now in post.
Infrastructure Minister, Michelle Haywood explains why they're needed:

Landmarks to turn pink to mark Organ Donation Week
New Northern Information Centre 'important' for residents
Prospective MHKs asked to back 'Manifesto for Prosperity'
Twelfth Manx Bard 'delighted' to be chosen
