Redevelopment set to be completed by 2021

A major refurbishment of Douglas Promenade will begin next September, Infrastructure bosses have confirmed.

The proposed £21 million scheme - which would see the entire one-and-a-half mile area completely rebuilt - is estimated to be completed in 2021.

Blueprints are currently on public display in the Sea Terminal.

Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer says it's time to get moving:
