Kopek Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 You may mean that, others may see him as breath of fresh air into local politics. It doesn't matter whether your politics are left or right, that fresh air should be welcomed, it really is time for a change in political attitude in local and national politics? Unless you want DC back????? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Unfortunately, Off shore man, you say that about any and all politicians and therefore dilute the value of your opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't have made up his comment on solar panels on the new corpy flats, was he misled by DCorp or are DoI defending their position? Anyone know for sure??? There are some normal people with left of centre views. I would say he is more than left of centre, and sets out to provoke, instead of working, or compromising. Was he actually involved in the design of the flats? If he was or sat on housing committee then maybe he would know, or is his comments scattergun, and hoping for political opportunism? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the DOI does whenever they get a project wrong? oh wait... I like Devon. He’s young, energetic, and indeed part of the breath of fresh air currently flowing through town hall. Channel that energy right and you have a fine politician. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've nothing against him personally but he does tend to go off on one without considering whether the opposing view has any validity. I think that this is an example of that, putting two and two together and making five! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the same bellyaching about all the greedy landlords , and now it seems there is a housing crisis looming with an apparent shortage of public and private sector accommodation ,many decent landlords have decided to call it a day . don't want the hassle from Government and every other tin pot agency under the sun telling them who they must rent their property to . and gobby councillors demanding more rights given to totally unsuitable tenants , who don't pay, ,destroy the the property commit criminal activities , the do a runner or go to jail, leaving a right mess for the owner to sort out , but he needs to be called out regarding his thus far unsubstantiated claims that DOI pulled the rug on fitting solar panels to the new Peel road apartments ,Time for someone to ask a question in Tynwald ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more appropriate question is why they weren't automatically included in the design (if DOI are right) and that planning should require as part of any application some elements of renewable energy generation or an explanation as to why not. I would have thought building them into construction would be an insignificant cost in the overall build. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 question is who sat down with Dandara and agreed the design brief , for Peel road apartments and what else didn't the council think they had signed up to , lets start to unravel the great mystery some of us are thinking was a deal for the old Lord St flats included ? who knows too many deals seem to be done without public debate both at Council and Government level , after all its our money they are spending and in some cases putting a huge financial burden around our necks for generations to come , 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubling down when caught out is a sure sign of arrogance. I thought the plans were approved before he was a councillor? The comments on the Mannin line that Andrew langan fella was an agent of the 'great reset' were quite amusing. Until he actually said he agrees with the policies behind it. I thought the great reset was tinfoil hat stuff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braddan Commissioners new development in Snugborough is all singing and all dancing, and supposedly eco friendly. Do the DBC and Commissioners not meet to swap ideas or best practice, or even still aren’t some of the MLC Douglas Corporation Councillors are somewhat eco loons and very much into green matters, so no doubt will be friends with other like minded commissioners.
