The Department of Infrastructure doesn't currently have enough money to resurface Castletown's main streets.
Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse asked Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood for an update in the House of Keys this week.
Dr Haywood said planning permission was granted last year for Arbory Street and Malew Street.
She explained her department's resources were stretched, but it still had time to start work:
M HK queries cost of extending MiCard scheme
No information about "immergration", says Treasury
TT course closure to fell trees
20mph on agenda for first local authority to get limits
Gales set to buffet Island later
Should 20mph road markings be in Manx as well as English?
Exercise tests emergency services response
Event to help new islanders settle in tomorrow
