However the DOI should not be allowing them to take the piss as they are doing. 00's of commuters held up twice a day. Queued at road works that should have been completed months ago. No sign of urgency. I'm thinking I might apply for a road closure/traffic light order, rent some lights and just have a crack at fucking up a road for 9 months.

Technically they can close it from any time from today for the next three weeks. But we won't really know till they start next weekend (or not). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren’t they planning to finish in next 2 weeks which is why road has been closed in evenings, however I would think the rain last week will have delayed it again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem that existed, was how the developer could get a weak minded MHK on board to enable it to build 350 houses on green fields .

I don't hold much hope for any sensible solution to the issue now as sides are too entrenched and its been too long ! I confess the best solution imo would be compulsory purchase it and rewild it, that way no profit making entity wins but the wildlife does. Good wishes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 20 minutes ago, asitis said: build 350 houses on green fields .....'little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same'. The 'planners' (and I use the term as derogatorily as I can) are to blame wholly and solely for the eyesores that Dandara have been allowed to plaster the Island with. Apart from the supply of brown envelops drying up, there was/is nothing to prevent the 'planners' from imposing house designs in keeping with the Manx heritage, existing architecture and in sympathy with the countryside. Instead, the 'ghetto' estates have been allowed to be built to replicate any other bog-standard unimaginative estates more at home in Hemel Hempstead than the Isle of Man. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
