Pressure on DEFA to enforce protection
An MHK is seeking to put pressure on the Environment Minister over the deteriorating state of the Castle Mona Hotel.
Daphne Caine will ask Geoffrey Boot to outline the efforts being undertaken to protect the Douglas landmark when the House of Keys sits later.
A Freedom of Information request a fortnight ago revealed widespread damage to the interior of the registered building, which closed in 2006.
Mrs Caine believes DEFA hasn't done enough to ensure its historic value is retained:
Peel commissioner claims transparency concerns being "shut down"
Douglas man to stand in 2026 general election
Population challenges 'have gone from vulnerabilities to extremes'
