Range of outsourcing options for complex
The Economic Development Minister says it's time to weigh up the alternatives - after it emerged no bids have been entered for a takeover of the Villa Gaiety complex.
Laurence Skelly announced the outsourcing venture back in May, when three off-Island companies were said to be interested.
But a lack of formal tender interest means government will now have to work out a different way of running the venues.
Mr Skelly says he'd like to see the matter concluded as soon as possible:

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
