We just don't have our leaders' vision... If we can do the "Douglas Prom Project" , ( sucessfully ), in time and on budget ( without any cracks appearing ) , we can build the deep water birth no problem," another one in the cap for the Chief Minister " !

Dredging there would run into millions a year, as you would have to pull out to deep water to create a channel. And because of the way the tide runs, it would be extremely difficult to maintain Same in Douglas, sounds like someone gave you a fob off mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pretty deep port suited to cruisers which already has a lot of big freight activity. It wouldn't need the sort of crazy investment we’re taking about. The “upgrade” only cost £500k according to that article. We couldn’t even put a pavement in on anything for £500K.

gettafa Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) The politicians love to flaunt themselves on these cruise liners as they bob about in the bay. I wonder what say when people ask "what is that white patch emanating from the Bay?" Edited August 19, 2019 by gettafa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 £500,000 is a good investment for Belfast, even it fails to achieve anything it won't break the bank. Remind me again how much the projected costs here are ? utter madness !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind me again how much the projected costs here are ? utter madness !! £500k seems a fair investment for Belfast. But then they have so much more to offer visitors than the Isle of Man does. They have actual culture rather than a few stuffy museums, rickety old trams and some tourist tat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 A common sense into the long term viability needs to be undertaken by non-politicians. Either that or " put a sod on their chmberly pots"!!!
