Banker Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 2 hours ago, Fred the shred said: Hooper is doing his job . That road is not sustainable for heavy traffic it is the property of the Manx Hospital Trust and they have to think of patients safety. The whole concept is a joke and Braddan Commissioners are trying to detract blame by passing the buck .The Commissioners have failed on all sides and even if the Trust turned around and gave them permission to use the road temporarily until they could sort out a proper exit and entry it would still be a joke. They are going to punish the ratepayers for decades to make up the shortfall between income and outgoings I.e. interest payments not even taking in consideration any essential repairs and maintenance . I agree roads aren’t suitable but Braddan now can’t afford to build a road, suppose they may now drop objections to Hartford homes new 330 houses development to get extra income 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkydevil Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 You guys in Braddan are never happy. You've got yourselves a lovely new community-building to use at somepoint in the future and Andrew Jessop should be rightly proud. As someone in another parish, I'm really envious. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Update from Clare Christian, seems jessop & co holding road up Claire Christian MHK for Douglas South 56m · Update on Round House: Access Road During the recent requisition meeting with the Commissioners, Mr. Jessop explained that the delay in starting the road construction was due to the lack of permission from the DHSC at that time. Following the meeting, I reached out to the Minister and Department the next day for clarification, and here is the latest update: The Department has already provided preliminary approval for the project in principle, expressing eagerness to proceed with the construction of the access road. However, the delay lies in obtaining a signed legal license for tree felling and construction commencement, as there have been ongoing changes in Braddan's requirements. While initial agreement for tree felling was reached on February 15th, subsequent amendments and requests from Braddan resulted in back-and-forth exchanges, leading to delays in finalising the license. Despite sending multiple versions of the license to accommodate the changes, Braddan continued to suggest revisions as of the latest meeting on March 11th. As of today, March 14th, Braddan has raised further queries on the 12th March (the day after the meeting), another license was sent to Braddan on the 13th March, and today Braddan have come back with further queries, thus license not signed. In summary, the DHSC has been supportive of Braddan's efforts to proceed, yet the process has been prolonged due to evolving project specifications from Braddan’s end. It's crucial to highlight and give balance that the Braddan Commissioners have the right to alter their plans and make queries, however the primary reason for the delay was not obtaining the necessary licenses from DHSC, a point that wasn't entirely clear during the meeting. It is my understanding that 3 licenses have been sent to Braddan Commissioners since the 25th Feb to date for them to sign. This is definitely a complex situation and I do hope that it is resolved swiftly. Temporary pedestrian crossing Good news! Additionally, I received images of temporary pedestrian crossing yesterday (which was a condition of the planning approval), and the DOI minister advised me that after a few more checks, the project would move forward to the next stage for approval, likely involving DEFA and planning department. This is essential for the nursery to receive the license from the DHSC for them to open. Clearly both parties are trying to resolve the situation. The main focus now is to ensure the successful opening of the building, for the rate payers and users of essential services like the nursery and sensory hub.

Dirty Buggane Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Why is there direct vehicle access to Palatine carpark ( all be it controlled by a barrier) Could they not just drive round park and walk being it is only supposed to be used evenings and weekends. The chanced of the barrier being closed and raised will go out of the window after a month, with Palatine car park being close to the roundhouse entrance guess where people will park. Being most people are lazy and entitled. Oh good play MHK Christian, lay on the emotional black mail at the end.

Omobono Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I see there have been temporary traffic lights placed on a made up pedestrian crossing right at the mini roundabout on Braddan road with the Ballaoats road junction cant think of a more dangerous or unsuitable place to put this , had the traffic management schemes for the Roundhouse been properly considered ,you would have thought safe access for pedestrians would have been implemented before the place opened , , very few people will walk to the roundhouse and there is no where for people to park on these B roads or the housing estate anyway , just another expensive mess by the looks of things ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something which seemingly no other nursery on the island has had as an operating requirement I doubt both of these - DOI have little influence as no real change to the roads & doesn't seem something planning would typically get involved with, whereas DHSC need to license the Nursery & access road.
