How will government track increase of residents?
Government needs to collect information about the Isle of Man’s population ‘more swiftly’ and make it more ‘readily available’.
That’s the view of the interim chief secretary who has given evidence to the Population Rebalancing Committee.
Caldric Randall was quizzed about the ambition to grow the number of residents to 100,000 by 2037 and how this would be tracked.
He admits that more data would be needed:
Government engaging with UK over international ferry levy plans
Isle of Man won't be affected by July 2026 changes to domestic voyages
Bottleneck car park shut over safety concerns
Council cites increased risk of storm surges as winds shift overnight
Forecasters warn of snow over higher ground later
Higher routes such as Mountain Road could be affected by slight accumulations
Dementia demand assessment underway as Public Health forecasting future need
Figures suggest Island prevalence of 0.7 percent, as government acknowledges demand likely to rise due to aging population
