Reverend calls for improvements at St John's site
The lack of disability access at a church in the west of the Island is 'discriminatory and demeaning' according to the reverend based at the building.
Reverend Canon Margaret Burrow submitted a petition, during the Tynwald Day ceremony, calling for government to improve access at the church.
She's keen to see a ramp fitted at the government-owned facility, which hosts the Tynwald Day service, and believes it will benefit tourists as well as her congregation.
She says the current set-up isn't good enough:
Infrastructure minister reports poll after it called for her to be removed with a shotgun
IOM Medical Society opposes plans to implement an NHS levy
No changes to speed limit enforcement with new 20mph zones
MUA to undertake 'significant' refurb at Cringle Reservoir
RNLI reflects on a busy 2024
