Council’s accountability questioned
East Douglas MHK Chris Robertshaw says he’s determined to break through what he claims is a veil of secrecy shrouding the Isle of Man Arts Council.
It comes at a time when the body slashed funding for the Sayle Gallery in the Villa Gaiety complex – although the Department of Education and Children last week stepped in to grant an extra six months worth of funding.
Mr Robertshaw says he’s extremely concerned about the council’s accountability and has contacted the body with questions.
He claims his requests for information have, so far, been rebuffed:
Peel Commissioner at centre of row would 'welcome' external investigation
Two sailings cancelled, more in doubt
Isle Listen's 'Castle to Castle' challenge postponed
Major consultation on health and safety regulations to close at the end of this month
Long-running Island garage closing in April
