Needed for future cruise ship passengers says DoI
New security gates at a jetty in Port Erin have cost taxpayers £3,000.
They’ve been installed so that cruise ship passengers can be tendered to the walkway if vessels want to stop at the southern port.
The gates will be closed if and when people want to disembark or return to the ship.
Rushen MHK Michelle Haywood questioned the Infrastructure Minister this week about whether they were actually necessary.
Chris Thomas maintained they were:
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
Fly tipping warning from police after instances outside Crossroads
Manx Radio to 'formally investigate' complaint from veteran broadcaster
Station confirms it received an 'official letter of complaint' this week
Temporary ambulance station established at Castletown Coastguard Station
Ambulance cover in the south to be maintained following station fire
Owners advised to keep pets out of river
A number of fish have been found dead in the river near Poulsom Park
