The Phantom Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 5 hours ago, CallMeCurious said: Well at least the accounts will be publically available as it's owned by the government taxpayers. I assume we get a say in when to wind it up if it isn't performing? Oh yeah, I forgot, "arms length" and "commercial sensitivity." I was curious how this would be structures so had a look at the Registry. The shareholder of the Manx Development Corp (MDC) is the Treasury Minister. There are actually 3 MDC companies, one which appears to be the holding company. One called MDC WMV which I assume to be Westmoreland Village and another called MDC FNH. Any ideas?

Gladys Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 7 hours ago, The Phantom said: Interesting point. Although if you'd go by company law, you'd need something like 75% of the shareholders (taxpayers) to agree. Although whether that would be 75% of all of us or those contributing 75% of the tax collected... I think you would have to go by the register of members.

It looks a bit like an open prison. But we are assured that it will be an open prison for cyclists only with 241 places to park your bike. That’s so many I wonder if they’re going to away a brand new bike with every lease signed. It’s the only way they’re going to create that many cyclists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Soviets were very keen on cyclists too what with the 15 year wait for a new Lada you had to use a bike in the meantime. So maybe you’re right there’s a definite Soviet air to the whole thing. Edited April 27, 2023 by offshoremanxman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hundreds of pages of documentation on the planning application. I guess you have just looked at a picture of a building more than two floors tall and linked it to a tenement?
