Manx Utilities chair insists Island will have all-Island charging system by 2030
The Isle of Man may have to protect its borders against an influx of cheap and old cars after the British Government's ban on new petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles comes into force.
That's from Manx Utilities chairman Dr Alex Allinson MHK following the announcement motorists in the UK won't be able to buy such cars from 2035.
Dr Allinson insists the infrastructure will be in place locally if the Island were to match the UK's timescale, but believes the Manx Government must make its own decision.
He fears there could be repercussions for the Island:
Government issues clarification on proposed changes to public housing policy
DHSC 'considering policy options' as Hyperbaric Chamber calls for more funding
'Really special', says charity as historic furniture returns to Island
Government 'supporting' Strix after announcement of Ramsey factory closure
Minister acknowledges challenges facing hospitality industry
