Ashford highlights lack of 'cohesive plan' by DESC
A Douglas North MHK has criticised a government department for not having a ‘cohesive plan’ for the future of the Villa Gaiety complex.
In Tynwald this week David Ashford queried whether the Department of Education, Sport and Culture should be running it at all.
Despite his concerns the Department Plan for 2022/2023 was passed unanimously by Tynwald.
But Mr Ashford questioned whether the entertainment facility could become a 'poor relation':
Work begins on horse tram line extension
It is expected the works will cost up to £3m
1500 people waiting for cataract surgery on the IoM
Business case for external support being drafted
Government sets out eight national priorities in 'Charter for Change'
10-page document due to be debated in Tynwald next week
Dermatology services moved to refurbished RDCH suite
Patients had been attending appointments elsewhere at the facility
