Langweilig Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 What's happening with the Villa Marina arcade. Is it being refurbished? In 2005 there was a plan to turn it into a medical centre but the traders in the centre campaigned against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Medical centre never actually planned for Villa arcade, always intention to restore original deco glass roof and interior, new cafe bar for Gaiety, new stalls entrance for Gaiety, loo facilities for Gaiety, organ and performance space and engraved glass doors, plus shops related to the arts and arts management. Thyat was plan when I was on IOM Arts Council 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure John? Minister David Cretney said: "Although plans are still at a relatively early stage we are pleased that the project is moving forward. "Following public consultation in May, a suggestion to include in the Arcade a modern accessible medical centre for the Douglas Promenade area was proposed. In response to this priority need for both residents and visitors, both the DTL and the Department of Health and Social Security agreed that this option should be taken forward."

Perhaps larger toilets on the Promenade so they can all shelter there when it rains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent idea, difficult to get your teeth into Beckett when it's p*ssing down. Edited September 24, 2007 by bluemonday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnieK Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Is Beckett all the rage with kids these days then? I can see how watching Endgame could result in the rise in violence and anti-social behaviour amongst young people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
