Festoon lighting is to be installed on Douglas’ South Quay.
The decision follows the popularity of the town’s Christmas lights display.
The Council’s Environmental Committee agreed festoon lighting on the North Quay had ‘added to the nighttime atmosphere’ of the area, and moved to seek funding from the General Revenue Reserve to extend the display to the South Quay.
Although the initiative will make use of festoon lighting formerly installed on Douglas Promenade, additional costs will be incurred; bringing the current budget to £22,444 - a figure approved by the Executive Committee at this month’s sitting.
Councillor Falk Horning is pleased the initiative can now move forward:
Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
Government advice following spike in data breaches
Plans for four-foot flood walls at Ramsey harbour
Garage blaze in the early hours of this morning
