£150k bill for Douglas regeneration lighting

Monday, 8 April 2024 07:33

Douglas Council is set to spend more than £150,000 on street lighting for the promenade regeneration scheme.

When members gather at the Town Hall on Wednesday, they'll consider a report from the Environmental Services Committee about the prom refurb.

The committee heard the Department of Infrastructure's scheme remains incomplete, with lighting needed at Peveril Island, Strathallan Crescent, King Edward Road and Loch Promenade Gardens.

Installing columns which have already been bought is expected to cost £153,824 including loan charges.
