Public's Views Sought On Major Changes To Douglas Promenade

Consultation First Phase Of Work Expected To Take Several Years

The public's views are being sought on major plans to revamp Douglas promenade.

Gathering the views of the public will be the first stage of a process that is thought will take several years.

The works would tie in with a carriageway strengthening and reconstruction scheme running from the Sea Terminal to Broadway and later from Broadway to Summerhill.

Asides from minor aesthetic improvements the promenade has remained largely unaltered since the construction of Loch Promenade 76 years ago, with parts dating back to the second half of the 19th century.

The positioning of the horse tram tracks, footways, the cycleway, parking and the various junctions will all come under scrutiny.

You have until 28th January to submit your ideas of what you'd like to see done to the promenade.

You can access the Douglas Promenade 'Issues and Options' document at the Chief Secretary's Office, in libraries and at local authority offices.
