Campaigners for the refurbishment of the Queen's Pier in Ramsey will be hoping for good news in the new year as the select committee reaches the next stage in its deliberations.
The pier has been the subject of much debate over the last 20 years - but very little action. Most people agree it's an asset for the island, but finding someone to take responsibility for its upkeep is proving much more difficult.
Ramsey MHK Anne Craine says that's partly because it was never built as a 'pleasure' pier, although she's convinced that IF it's repaired, plenty of uses will soon become apparent:
Figures show cost of works at Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital
Section of former Ramsey Bakery site could become a motorcycle shop
Cyber security event to take place later this year
Warning after drone reported flying over farm
French tall ship returns to the sea
