Petitioners to highlight grievances on Tynwald Day

Tue, 05 Jul 2016

People will call on Tynwald to pick up and address their grievances today.

The Island's National Day marks the one opportunity each year where residents can lay their Petitions of Redress of Grievance on Tynwald Hill.

Petitioner Jonathan Irving will lay two petitions - one claims the Chief Minister should be personally held to account for the 'unwarranted loss 'of £20 million from the 'public's dwindling purse'.

Long term petitioner Trevor Cowin will present five - they centre on complaints procedures and grievances with the Infrastructure and Chief Minister as well as the Speaker of the House of Keys.
