Relocation of tram tracks sparks safety concerns

Have relevant safety checks been carried out with regards to relocating the horse tram tracks?

That's the question set to be raised in Tuesday's Tynwald sitting by Onchan MHK David Quirk.

He's concerned that not enough thought has been given to the potential perils of the trams sharing the prom walkway with cyclists and pedestrians.

Mr Quirk says there are lots of questions that need answering:
