Trying to write some of your own ratepayers off as Facebook lunatics does the council and yourself a huge discredit and just underlines some of the general claims of arrogance and indifference. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my relative had been turfed out of their home, and it then sold cheap to a mate of someone who had inside info from DBC then I would definitely care. As an IOM resident I also care, as that sort of abuse of a position and information needs to be seen to be very seriously dealt with. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I say that? Jeez. Other councillors and myself tried to interact but it didn’t work out. I’m not saying members of any Facebook group are anything. Just that I tried to talk to them and got nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ativa Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I notice there is an advert playing in the radio for “The Quay” in Douglas. No mention of specific businesses, just that it’s a great place to go for food, drink etc. Can anyone advise who has paid for it? Surely it’s nothing to do with DBC trying to make their silly experiment look more successful than it is and even further favouring the businesses down there over the others that pay rates in town and who often can’t even out a table outside.

It’s probably so that DBC can lure people down there and then Bentley can then take pictures of them and post them on social media so that he can make it look like his empty street is a massive success again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well personally I think it’s been a great success & even better over next 2 weeks, it’s great sitting outside British with a beer without cars driving through. Notice O’Donnell & Henderson & glass both have tables outside as I walked through just now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should print that comment and read it a few times to yourself. Maybe you’ll notice how it makes you look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you’ll notice how it makes you look. You should maybe be concerned more about how your comment looks. There’s nothing worse than a bitter local councillor. Why does the Quay need advertising on the radio if it’s so unbelievably popular that people are apparently flocking there already? Are your ratepayers paying for such radio airtime to be bought to advertise your empty street?
