There is increasing concern at Douglas town hall over the delayed implementation of a raft of upgraded bye-laws.
They were passed by the council in September 2009, but have been held up after the Attorney General's Chambers raised unspecified concerns.
The bye-laws cover three areas, namely general, housing, and recreation and leisure, and the hold-up is down for debate at the monthly meeting of the borough council today (Wednesday).
Council leader David Christian says some progress is being made, but it's not before time:
