Company applies for new shopping centre signs

The Strand Centre's new owners have applied to put up advertising signs around the building.

Sports Direct has asked for planning permission to put a number of signs on the shopping centre in Strand Street in Douglas.

In the application, the UK-based company says it wants to put two illuminated signs on the front and back of the building, which is currently undergoing a refurbishment.

It's also applied for permission to replace the current vertical Strand Centre signs with Sports Direct branding.
