Dispute with flume subcontractors continues
There are hopes the National Sports Centre may be fully operational early in the New Year, but there's still no definitive date.
An ongoing row with the subcontractors over the unfinished flume ride, added to problems with the pool's raising floor, has plagued the swimming facility.
Arguments over who will pay for completing the flume in a way which is acceptable in health and safety terms continue with the Turkish firm subcontracted to do the work.
Education Minister Graham Cregeen is cautious about when the work may be finished:


Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
2026 Parish Walk takes place today
