Numbnuts Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Its bordering on criminal that the Myprom minutes aren't up to date. I accept there's a requirement to have them passed at the next meeting but last published minutes are September. Couldn't be hiding anything could they !??

Are Douglas corporation going to do anything with walkway which is looking very tatty, railings rusted, sand & seaweed on walkway & beach is a right mess of stones & seaweed which is just shifted once a month or so!! Hardly an attractive site for tourists! I think you will find the walkway and railings are the responsibility of the DOI ,all the Corporation do is spend money dragging seaweed down the beach only to be washed up again in the next tide , you couldn't make this up , if the bandstand on Queens promenade is not painted soon the metalwork will be rusted away , same with the railings at the rear of the Tynwald buildings crying out for some basic TLC , next thing you know they will beyond repair and require replacing , same with most government owned properties , a national disgrace 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we ticketed all the illegally parked vehicles on the Island we would make some inroads into the pension deficit👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't make it clear what your view is. My view is that if you park in a space that clearly says EV charging point ONLY you are just plain stupid. I would have had it towed away. People are so stupid. I have no sympathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they’d do that for drivers without blue badges who park in the very few disabled spaces. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after dark. There was a near miss there yesterday afternoon. If the roundels are supposed to be an unmarked junction why the hell did it make sense to anyone to put a crossing right on the main entry/exit point to the whole thing? It’s just asking for trouble. Whatever was wrong with good old fashioned Belisha beacons, if it’s supposed to be shared space? And amber flashing lights at each entrance to a roundel? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hedgehog Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I don't mind the ev spaces but the special reserved space for the Methodist church pisses me off a bit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
