A local food producer is criticising plans to bring a continental market over to the Island in the run-up to Christmas.
Peter Birch, who runs the Ballasalla-based Original Manx Fudge Factory, says such operations are to the detriment of Manx businesses:

Plans submitted for rooftop solar array at NSC
Manx Utilities project to 'support the Island’s transition to cleaner energy'
Station Garage to undergo refurbishment as family owners 'taking a step back'
