Yet when you strip away the money sent over to the UK Universities then we are actually spending MORE on government pensions than we are on Education. Absolutely mental. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Interesting only £2m for the housing & community board but £42m for climate change, I would have reversed the figures as housing is much more important for island residents than the impact we can have on climate 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issue with doing things to improve the situation, but big issues with building up the massive green empire like they are. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if net zero site provides a direct link to the TT site, apparently coming home, having dropped TT zero 🤔 they'll need more than a million to cover the cost of the carnage on the roads as over excited bikers celebrate being back. As for a strategy for 500,000 visitors. Come on, you're having a laugh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says this is as a result of extra costs incurred during the pandemic - including purchase of PPE and business support." (my emphasis) I find this reference to PPE difficult to believe - there were huge sums spent (very reasonably!) in the 2020/21 financial year on PPE, with the vast majority of it remaining unused: https://taxpayersalliance.im/iom-health-department-spent-7-9m-on-ppe-in-2020-63-remains-available/ It seems unlikely that they've somehow had a second successive year of extra PPE costs when they had so much left over from the 2020/21 financial year.

They should probably have come up with a definitive capital programme before throwing £40,000,000 at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
