Trial to be carried out by Ramsey
Chief Minister Allan Bell has announced a pilot scheme to enable the six Local Regeneration Committees to take on a wider remit.
Government says the move is in recognition of the success of the schemes in the Isle of Man’s towns and villages.
The Ramsey Regeneration Committee has agreed unanimously to undertake a short trial to see how the wider remit would work.
The new remit could include compiling more local economic information, and looking at schemes to bring vacant buildings back to life by prioritising projects.
Mr Bell says it's time to build on what has already been achieved:
Inquest opens following death at prison
Party politics fails to find favour with Manx public
Steam Packet's concern over harbour silt
Concern as online access to digital newspaper archive to cease
