Twitch Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Councillor Devon Watson's contribution to the news has appeared on Twitter. Apparently "Peel's Cathedral is now officially the property of Douglas City Council." Is there bad blood between Douglas Council and Peel? Not sure why elected councillors are being so high and mighty about it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkydevil Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Douglas Town Band members are said to be 'gutted' and 'distraught' at the news. One said "Maybe now, it is time to give up the Tuba" in an official statement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamics in council are changing. Old vs New Guard and the new kids are starting to win. And Douglas seems to be benefitting so well from it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Peel has been trumpeting its supposed "City" status for decades, so a bit of ribbing is to be expected. Unfortunately there's a bit more to being a city than having a down-at-heel cathedral in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
