Harmer names it as a priority following 2020 budget announcement
Footpath maintenance is one of the Department of Infrastructure's priorities - outside of major projects - during the time the current government has left.
Ray Harmer was speaking following the announcement of the Manx Budget yesterday.
The present administration has a little over 18 months to deliver on its promises, before the Manx General Election takes place next year.
The infrastructure minister says footpaths definitely need looking at:

More coastal overtopping expected as strong winds continue
Full lighting capability restored at Isle of Man Airport
Snaefell Mountain Railway out of action after storm damage
Council confident for Manor Pub's future
