Tynwald to vote on horse tram tracks again

Mon, 09 Jan 2017

Plans to reduce the length of the horse tram tracks on Douglas promenade will be up for debate again at this month's sitting of Tynwald.

Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer will present plans to cut the track between Broadway and the Sea Terminal, leaving the service running between Broadway and Summerland.

The Minister asked for approval to make the changes at last month's sitting as part of wider plans for the reconstruction of Douglas promenade, but the House of Keys and Legslative Council were split on the decision.

Mr Harmer will put the move to a combined vote when the Island's parliament sits next week.
