Consultation On Douglas Promenade Regeneration Closes In 2 Weeks

Plans are in place to give Douglas Promenade a major face lift.

You have just over 2 weeks left to submit your views on the matter before the consultation closes on 28th January.

The proposal centres on carriageway strengthening and reconstruction, there are also issues like repositioning of the horse tram tracks, footways and cycle ways.

It’s anticipated that such an undertaking would take several years to complete.

Department of Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne said he hopes this work will be the catalyst for the overall regeneration of Douglas.

You can find the issues and options document at the Chief Secretary’s Office, in libraries and at local authority offices.
