The planning application submitted by the Department of Infrastructure to improve Douglas Harbour is an important development according to the Minister.
It's for a marine dolphin and footbridge on King Edward VIII pier, and would include installing a mooring platform and mooring bollard.

Mr Thomas says the application has been put together in consultation with the Steam Packet, and more details will be given to Tynwald members and the public in September.
The Steam Packet has declined our invitation to comment.
