Yes but councils are perpetuated on handing out ridiculous contracts to mates. Didn’t that guy retire to a France? Then they had to think about what to do next which precipitated the removal of the groynes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 29 minutes ago, Cueey Lewis And The News said: The problem you seem to have with Douglas is that DBC always know’s best. You have an architect on council who will swear that getting rid of the groynes is the best thing they’ve done in a while. While it looks to most people that it’s got infinitely worse since they removed the groynes. Someone then gets a contract to shift shit around for a decade or so when really maybe they should have just got Island Drainage down there for a week with a team of diggers to dig it all out and see what happens before the taxpayer spent a million quid on a wall that’s going to block the view. I really despair of DBC, the beach is in dire need of having some serious maintenance and we are looking at a bunch of unqualified experts making expensive decisions on things they don't understand! The promenade lighting is a case in point, the place looks like an industrial estate at night, at the whim of an egotistical council leader! 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick in the IOM seems to be to try to be successful under your own steam as that might set you apart from the frauds trying to milk others for cash and credibility to make up for their failings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a patch on the previous lighting arrangement. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An egotistical council leader who has a pr company to handle her Comms and she can't even manage an email account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting view. I was talking to someone quite high up in IFGL the other day and I remain surprised how the council leader manages to hang on to their job. You always think the private sector is harder than the public sector. Maybe not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 No it was the previous Council Leader Christian and the only person who voted against the vandalism of the lights was Raina Chatel who has been in the hospitality business for ages ,her parents before her ,and knew what an attractive promenade meant to locals and visitors alike. They were all culpable. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complain when candidates are returned unopposed but then effectively suggest their political popularity should affect their professional lives. Full credit for Cllr Wells for putting up with it all. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
