Councillor hits out at "it'll do" airport

Thursday, 11 July 2024 10:55

A Douglas councillor has criticised the state of the Island's airport.

Frank Schuengel posted a series of photographs to Twitter this morning showing faded road signs, overgrown foliage and peeling paintwork.

He accused the Castletown facility of having an "it'll do" attitude towards maintenance.

The posts have attracted some comments from other social media users about Ronaldsway.
