Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall says his department spent hundreds of thousands of pounds resurfacing a road in Derbyhaven because it was on the Island's priority list.
During this week's House of Keys sitting, he was questioned about the project by Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse.
Mr Crookall said last year, £276,000 was spent improving Derbyhaven Road in Castletown because it met the DOI's criteria.
He explained how the list of priorities was put together:
Cav to start legendary Le Mans 24 hour race
Can you help catch fly-tippers?
Pub hits out after vandals attack inclusivity signs
Play equipment closed after park vandalism
Ramsey looking for four new commissioners
Strang Stores applies for extension permission
Tynwald petition advice is free - but you'll need to act soon!
Midnight closing for new Indian restaurant in Castletown?
