Non-Believer Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 4 hours ago, 2112 said: True, but it is not IOMG/SPC to do renovations or improvements. I thought the building belongs to Peel Ports? Perhaps, our CM Cannan who likes to think he is a man of influence, could use his influence, and have a word in the ear of island resident John Whittaker, who owns Peel Ports? Perhaps he could persuade him to commit funding to tidying up the building? Sadly I don’t think he has any skills beneficial to the island. 🏝️ In the recent past, Peel have successfully expected IoMG and the Steamie to pay for the upkeep of the premises/facilities that they use.

Dirty Buggane Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 And in the recent past peel ports were going to pay for the move at Liverpool till one Phil Gawne stuck his oar in, and may I add the prom was going for a resurface and new street furniture till he again pronounced it would not be so. Lets not forget he was the farmers friend who got them the payments not to grow anything. Funny how his family are heavy into farming, and lest we forget the gov cash still rolling in by pension and radio spot. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it more than likely wasn't fit for purpose when he was part of it either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeCurious Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-67122278 And so it begins. Mr Morris said the refurbishment would cost a "smattering" of the cost of the construction of a new terminal in Liverpool. A "smattering" ~ so somewhere north of £10m then. Maybe they should invest in the harbour and dock as a priority so people can actaully complete the journey they paid for and an impromptu Irish Sea round trip cruise ? Pretty sure most on that route are heading for the M6 and all points beyond about as fast they legally can once the wheels are on dry land. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeCurious Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-isle-of-man-67077025 This explains a lot.... A bid to allocated a further £10m in continency funding to help pay for the project was put on hold in July. Well we all know they've been taking the piss since this started so maybe this will put an end to it? Nice to see license fee tax is well spent on top quality journalism.

Dirty Buggane Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Why don't Mr Morris, if he feels so strongly get his constituents to stump up the money. I think the island has wasted enough cash in England to last most of us and our children's lifetimes . 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxman2000 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 What is the point in a facelift for Heysham, the sea terminal is at at its best ever. Ok it’s in a tin shed but that’s what Liverpool will look like in time. It’s a bit like putting lipstick on a pig. Heysham is a commercial port, it’s never going to look nice. Give the idiot MP a paint brush and a tin of battleship grey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 According to the Courier he has had talks with Alfie about it, obviously with the Liverpool fiasco everyone thinks we are a soft touch and rolling in money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
