A public meeting this week will consider whether Douglas is suffering in the name of national policy.
The third in a series of meetings called Isle of Man 2020 will take place at the Old Friends Club on Finch Road from 7pm on Wednesday.
Organiser Chris Thomas says he’s hoping to have MHKs, members of Douglas council and newspaper editor Richard Butt taking part.
He says there’ll be a number of issues he’d expect to be raised:
