Claire Christian says high rent costs need to be addressed
An MHK says Douglas high street could become a ghost town if rent prices aren't addressed.
Douglas South MHK Claire Christian, who also owns Claire Christian Couture on Victoria Street, has a question in Keys on what can be done to save the retail sector.
It's as 19 jobs at Burton, Dorothy Perkins, and Wallis in the capital have been lost, as physical stores were left out of the Boohoo buy-out deal of the Arcadia Group brands.
Mrs Christian says the results could be dramatic:
Five IOM women recognised in King's Birthday Honours
Police issue statement after reports female 'grabbed by her arm'
Option to relocate dementia patients no longer being considered by Manx Care
'Multitude of late boat arrivals' impacting customer numbers, says business
