Lord Street and Market Hill set for revamp
Major work reconstructing Market Hill and a section of Lord Street in Douglas will get underway on Monday (2 September).
The Department of Infrastructure is hoping the revamp will make the area safer for pedestrians, as well as improving the access from the high street to North Quay.
The scheme was initially set to begin in June, before being pushed back.
Construction Manager Gary Saunders told Chris Cave why it was delayed, and how residents would be impacted:
DoI has a list of potential new laws
Health services 'need to be run as efficiently as possible'
Under 18s could be searched for vaping products
Re-scheduled memorial lecture to be held at end of month
