Candidate defends Richmond Hill scheme

by isleofman.com 24th June 2011

A candidate in September's general election has defended his decision to promote a ?3 million initiative designed to improve road safety.

David Anderson, who is seeking re-election in Glenfaba, was transport minister when he came forward with plans for the Richmond Hill Improvement Scheme.

There is currently a two-horse race in Glenfaba, involving Mr Anderson and challenger Geoffrey Boot.
