english zloty Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Horse trams phase 1 is actually 2 phases over 2 years. good use of the lockdown to plan so fully. Makes the bank holiday announcement look professional. http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=55628&headline=Tram may only make war memorial in 2022§ionIs=news&searchyear=2020&cat=Transport Edited May 12, 2020 by english zloty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didin't this get the knock back from planning? Their reasons for not putting up a sea wall were pathetic. Look back at the early 1900 photos of the prom with a sea wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc.fixit Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) why? no visitors, no folk about but still clearing the beach for them? Edited May 12, 2020 by doc.fixit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s wrong with clearing debris from the beach initially? The level at the wall is much higher than it was 20/30 years ago. When the build up reaches the top of the new wall are they going to add another metre on top of it? Edited May 12, 2020 by skins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seaweed should be removed, not pushed back in every day. If they do it to reduce the smell for the prom residents then at least it is well intended. However the height of the beach is the thorn in their side. It needs dropping about 2 mtrs to help the situation. In my opinion only. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so obviously what is required (and in Laxey too) but hiring a digger and wagon, doesn't keep dozens of designers, engineers, quantity surveyors and an entire management structure in jobs. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you guys joking? I genuinely cannot work out. Clearly the sea level would be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
