MHK questions cost of scrapped bus plans

How much did the aborted plans for a new bus station in Douglas cost?

That’s a question being asked by Ramsey MHK Leonard Singer in Tynwald today.

He wants to know how much it cost the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure to draw up plans to house the depot on Victoria Street.

Minister Graham Cregeen will also be asked to explain what consultations took place before the final plans were completed and who advised the department on formulating the proposal.

It was revealed last month that the DCCL was going back to the drawing board after not gaining support from the public for the idea.
