That actually completely takes the piss. The whole scheme is somewhere between 20 and 25 weeks behind at present, and seemingly continues to fall further and further behind with each passing week. There are promenade businesses that are on the verge of collapse. Promenade businesses that pay thousands of pounds each year in extortionate rates to Douglas Borough Council and provide jobs to people, Businesses that have had their trade decimated by the fuckwits running the scheme and who seemingly don't care about the impact of their work. There are local residents that have had to put up with a recreation of the internment camp all along Queens Promenade all summer while these people blunder along, seemingly not knowing their arse from their elbow. Meanwhile a glorified fairground attraction that is being propped up to the tune of £600k+ each year has all the stops pulled out so it can come out and shit all over the Promenade for one final weekend this year. Maybe it's just so they can round up the losses? Chris Robertshaw was spot on when he said they must not be allowed to run until the whole scheme is finished - I hope he holds DOI to account. Robertshaw showboating again. He knows he can do nothing about the feckin things running. If he wants to make a difference then start challenging that fuckwit longtail.

It would mean all the ancient services and shitting horse trams could have been left to rot in aspic so as not to upset all the history buffs and anoraks. Meanwhile the public would have got a brand new road that was fit for purpose and probably decent parking too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
