Max Power Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 "The morale of those working in public transport is at an all time low" Hardly surprising in view of the catalogue of disasters which follow the DoI around. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/claims-doi-wants-to-get-rid-of-horse-trams-are-unhelpful/ Without an extension to the tracks, the horse trams become a nothing attraction, so get rid of them! They lead from nowhere to nowhere, nothing to see at either end, or in the middle. The town is a cultural and entertainment wasteland! This is a typical Isle of Man strategic failure. We do every single thing in a half arsed manner, without any joined up strategy, or at least completely compromised by wooly thinking, vested interests and a NIMBY culture! 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The morale of a lot of people is very low. My morale always sinks a lot lower when I have to drive along places like the prom which have been made into a depressing pointless mess by the very same department. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 lets face it the publics perception of government and especially the DOI is at an all time low , mainly brought on by crass stupidity , wonton waste, and an arrogance when dealing with the general public , Armies of management and sadly no one left with any common sense or sense of duty to deliver front line services , and I have even less confidence in Chris Thomas to initiate any change in the dreadful culture they have created , 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 And I have great confidence in your lack of confidence in Thomas, He's as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. Unless you want someone to waffle total shite, if you do he's your man. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Do they not realise the danger they are putting swimmers and lost sea captains in, how will rescue services locate them in all that light clutter. You know one of the reasons they cited for not having festoon lighting. Lifeboats and air sea rescue will think its a rave going on and ignore the area. Will no one think of the swimmers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asthehills Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) Not promenade, but DOI. I can’t drive at the moment but got taken out for a bit this morning. If you want an example of DOI incompetence take a trip out to Patrick from St John’s on the new surface they put down. Was it called Ralumac? Either completely unsuitable for our roads or badly laid - possibly both, but it’s like a rally stage with gravel everywhere and large parts of the new surface completely gone exposing the old surface underneath in what are basically big potholes. I would go as far as to say that the gravel on the bends from the broken up surface is a safety issue.

Seems they are no better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
