Council hopes pedestrianisation will boost footfall
North Quay in Douglas will be closed to traffic from 4.30pm today in an effort to encourage greater footfall in the area.
It's a decision made by Douglas Council.
Each evening, until the end of September, the quayside from St Matthew's Church to the old Market Hall will be pedestrianised.
Lead councillor for regeneration and community Andrew Bentley says this will benefit visitors and businesses alike:
