The Department of Infrastructure may be carrying out more work on Douglas Promenade, after concerns were raised about warning signs.

In the House of Keys this week, DOI member Tim Glover faced questions from Douglas South MHK Sarah Maltby about why there are no signs warning people about tram tracks.

Mr Glover said all of the requirements of the Highway Code had been met but the department was considering putting up signs.

He added one accident has been recorded on the tram tracks so far in 2022, but explained the figure was lower than in previous years
