Douglas building to turn blue in tribute to key workers

Thu, 02 Apr 2020

Douglas Town Hall and Strand Street are to be illuminated blue tonight in acknowledgement of healthcare and social care workers and front-line staff working to keep the Island safe.

Council Leader Councillor David Christian MBE JP said: ‘The message from the Council is a simple one: “Thank you”. We want to publicly acknowledge the outstanding selflessness and dedication of all those on the health care front line caring for and supporting the most vulnerable and isolated at this difficult time."

A second “clap for our carers” event is being held at 8pm tonight.

Last week many people across the Island hung out of windows and came out of their doors to applaud NHS workers.
