Public have their say on state of the high street in survey

There is a lack of variety and choice when it comes to retail options on the Island.

That's been one of the main responses from the public in a survey about our current retail, leisure and hospitality offerings.

The survey was launched by the Department for Enterprise to help shape a new Local Economy Strategy to improve the economy and address any challenges faced.

Matthew Gardner from Business Isle of Man says over 1,250 members of the public had their say in the consultation, and there were also views on the appearance of the high street.

Business owners and managers are now encouraged to get in touch with the department to share their thoughts by emailing contact-business@gov.im
