First of a series of meetings taking place tonight
The first of a series meetings for business managers and owners on the Isle of Man takes place tonight.
The aim is to give them a chance to have their say in shaping the 'Local Economy Strategy' which is due for publication at the end of the year.
The sessions, which are free and have been organised by Business Isle of Man, will cover topics including how to make towns and high streets more diverse, key barriers to growth and how government can make it easier to do business in the local economy.
Business Development Manager Matthew Gardner says in the current climate, it's important to have these conversations:
There's a meeting in Port St Mary in the Town Hall on Monday 9 October from 6-8pm.
Ramsey's meeting will also be in its Town Hall, on Wednesday 11 October from 6-8pm.
The final meeting will be held in the capital at the iMuseum on Wednesday 18 October, also from 6-8pm.
