Admits timing was wrong to bring forward changes
The infrastructure minister has admitted now is not the right time to impose changes to vehicle duty.
Tim Baker says he should have waited for a ‘more suitable time’ to release details about the Vehicle Duty Order 2021 and put it before Tynwald.
It’s now been postponed until later this year.
Mr Baker says it’s clear from public reaction that work needs to be done on the proposals in the interim:
Environmental surveys scheduled for proposed wind farm in south of Island
Ecologists to assess environmental consequences of proposed development
RNLI launched 40 times in 2024, saving four lives
Annual rescue figures published for Isle of Man crews
Mountain Road: Pre-TT maintenance works postponed
Issue with asphalt plant sees resurfacing works pushed back
Fault that prevented planning documents being viewed now fixed
Work to ensure affected applications meet 21-day publicity requirements ongoing
