South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft was at a drivers’ meeting where that document was discussed.

Hospice funding criticised by UK charity chief amid Isle of Man service cuts
Sailings cancelled as storm brings gale-force winds
Manx Mountain Marathon route diverted over safety concerns amid forecast strong winds
