Chamber of Commerce responds to plans to create 5,000 new jobs
Government needs to resolve issues with housing, education and healthcare if it wants to attract new people to live and work on the Isle of Man.
That’s the view of the Chamber of Commerce which has responded to plans to increase the Island’s economically active population.
A new 15-year-plan pledges to create 5,000 new jobs
Chamber president Kristan McDonald says having the right accommodation options to attract new workers are key:
Government engaging with UK over international ferry levy plans
Isle of Man won't be affected by July 2026 changes to domestic voyages
Bottleneck car park shut over safety concerns
Council cites increased risk of storm surges as winds shift overnight
Forecasters warn of snow over higher ground later
Higher routes such as Mountain Road could be affected by slight accumulations
Dementia demand assessment underway as Public Health forecasting future need
Figures suggest Island prevalence of 0.7 percent, as government acknowledges demand likely to rise due to aging population
