english zloty Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Planning going in. Looks hideous 😞 £90 million. Of which 25% will be our money. Parking doesn’t seem to be a consideration on the site. Guessing that’s why MDC got the job of building a multi story on an adjacent plot. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/lord-street-regeneration-plans-revealed/ Edited May 28 by english zloty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Not much different to the pre covid scheme. Just no hotel. There is on site parking provided, 91 spaces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Looks quite nice with all the different levels, balconies and planting. My opinion, but something needs to happen there and not faux cottages to replicate the slum area that was cleared nearly 200 years ago. Edited May 28 by Gladys 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Who are developing the site? Same current ‘owners’? If so, will it ever happen, even with government assistance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Looks awful, and not fit for purpose for our supposedly moving to net zero and encouraging the use of buses. Looks like all they had left over to model this was Duplo bricks. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
