Gov't applies to build Douglas prom sea wall

The Department of Infrastructure has submitted plans to build a sea wall along Douglas Promenade.

The 180m section of wall would go from Peveril steps to the café next to the bottleneck car park.

A previous application for 500m of wall between The War Memorial and the Empress Hotel was approved in May 2020, and the department would now like to start work on both sections. 

According to plans, it's anticipated the wall will eventually be extended the full length of the promenade. 

It's added that construction would last around two months and disruption to the public is 'expected to be minimal.'
