What’s the chance of every spare house on the IOM is going to be snapped up in the next few months? Time for some keen MHKs to initiate legislation (like the 1 day gas act) to protect our local young people.

@LawrieHooper So is the action against the DOI Professional Team/Consultants running the contract. I did find it strange that he said the final account was closed out but they were seeking to recover money paid to the Contractor.

@LawrieHooper As somebody that went through it all in Clatterbridge I used to go to Maggies all the time which is a very similar concept and it was a game changer for me so a big big congratulations to all involved.

@as_manx @ManxFreeState I think you might be wrong. The amendment in October north west area plan debate was excellent, and strategic & area planning 2021-2041 is a priority straight after the election.

So the APNW again failed but looking at the voting it was again down to LEGCO members. So what is the point of voting in the election next year when publicly elected politicians can have their majority decision overturned by LEGCO. Might as well just let LEGO run the island.

@christhomasiom @ManxRadio Understand. Sorry I work in a world outside Politics where one more vote than the opposition counts as a majority. You do it where you divide the total number of votes by 2 and if it was 31 would be 15.5 so you can’t have that so go to 16 which means the other side have to get 17

@as_manx @ManxRadio Not sure why you believe it only covers constitutional matters then. It was constitutional law that diminished the role of LegCo in Tynwald regarding combined votes and other matters.

Government suffers fresh defeat over North and West Area Plan. The result means the Cabinet Office will now have to return to the drawing board, and it's unclear whether a revised plan will return to Tynwald before the next general election. manxradio.com/news/isle-of-m…

@as_manx @ManxRadio The 1961 Act applies. Clerks conferred with presiding officers and then President announced the vote.

Short term memories!! KT was on the Island in 2016 having broken into the Celtic Team. No local media were interested in talking to him and an open mic night was attended by so few. Overnight he’s now a Manx National Hero. KT is a wonderful human being.

@Elaineh26823408 @LawrieHooper I think we might be joining them after this latest fiasco in which I have wasted 2/3 years of my life going through an extremely democratic process that was in effect destroyed by a series of individuals who on the whole hadn’t even read the documentation.

Tynwald has just voted to reject the North and West Area Plan In doing so they have handed the keys to the countryside to developers Remember which MHKs voted for this because it’s a complete disgrace and an abject failure to protect the Island from overdevelopment
