It’s coming to Tynwald for approval in April according to Chris Thomas on Twitter, lots of changes/improvements in they can get funding. Apparently the independent review recommended corporatization but CT isn’t proposing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could point the lady in question to the following post and ask her if she has taken legal advice. Weeks ago I sent that image to both Curphey and Thomas in an email asking if the legal requirements were met - neither has responded.... https://www.manxforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/66896-airport/page/387/#comment-1684526 Maybe @John Wright would know?

Dirty Buggane Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Get rid of anyone who has had any input at the Airport, because non of them has a f#%$£÷ng clue and it must be a struggle for them to make sure they put the right shoe on the right foot. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Response (all information to be supplied) (2).pdf 196.58 kB · 17 downloads That's not quite what the FoI response says, which is that the trolley bays are being adjusted in-house, so there will be no identifiable extra cost (though clearly the FoI is wrong about at least some of the bays in the car park). But there will be extra costs on the maintenance budget. It's also quite revealing that no new ones had been purchased in the last ten years (or longer?), showing just how little regular maintenance or renewal or inspection there was in the day-to-day running of the Airport. Even more revealingly in an interview with Paul Moulton last week, Chris Thomas said that the money to purchase the new trollies had come from the DfE as somehow promoting the Island. Clearly getting the money out of the Treasury wasn't an option, they're only interested in stuff that will waste millions. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be worse they could have done no research at all and spent £100k plus ordering a handful of new eco friendly gas powered luggage carts for the luggage handlers and found that they couldn’t register them and then had to give them away.
