Work due to start in September
More than £1 million has been spent on consultancy fees for the Douglas promenade regeneration scheme.
Figures released via a freedom of information request show five parties have received £1,097,292 to date from the Department of Infrastructure.
It's expected that amount will go up to £2.2 million pounds once all the projected consultancy fees have been paid out.
This spending covers work on project management, rail design and planning supervision and comes from the Department's £25 million pound budget for the scheme.
Reconstruction of the promenade is due to get underway in September and is expected to take three years to complete.
