Government aiming to increase population to 100,000 over next 15 years
The Isle of Man has to 'push forward' to retain existing businesses and bring new jobs to the Island.
That's from Chief Minister Alfred Cannan following his recent trip to South Africa, where he met with business leaders.
Government's economic strategy aims to grow the Island's population to 100,000 by 2037.
Mr Cannan says forging relationships overseas will support that aim:
Warmer than average May for Island
239 hours of sunshine recorded in the month
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
Expanded eligibility and increased funding for support schemes
Police appeal after two motorcycles involved in collision
Incident saw Tholt-Y-Will backroad closed for several hours
Childcare Credit payments to increase
Bid to support families with childcare costs
Manx Care advice to those on Depo-Provera injection
