Have 521 potholes been filled in?

If you could fill potholes with spin, every road on the Island would be like a billiard table. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure how they handle duplicate reports, so those 821 reports may represent many fewer problems than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An utter TOOL ! He can only ever look back. History this. Heritage that. Old stuff museum the other. If MNH can't fund itself then it needs to make some cuts to its portfolio of mediocre 'attractions'. The government are having to offer financial incentives to get people to work in the hotel industry. We lose £8.5m plus on railways, lose £5m on MNH... what exactly is the point of propping up this so called industry? Where's the net gain and benefit? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An utter TOOL ! He was bound to add his two pennerth, as now everyone else are adding their views. What I would also add that you don’t have to spend mega money, to keep things tidy. Basic maintenance prevents total erosion and then it becoming a major replacement. I would like to see IOMG being canny, creative and getting more for less, with their resources. Unfortunately IOMG doesn’t understand this concept, and likes to waste money and resources, instead of keeping things basic and simple, concentrate on the essentials. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might get a response from Chris Thomas with Douglas being his constituency. However you’ll probably get nothing out of Rob Callister who is clearly still fantasizing about all the rusty railings and broken fixtures the 500,000 tourists in his tourist strategy will be queuing up to see. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the number of views (which will undoubtedly include many from off-island) I'd be very surprised if Govt Communications hasn't had a firework lit under its rectum and isn't now working to come up with some sort of "point-by-point rebuttal"....again.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
