Wind turbines dominate questions

by isleofman.com 21st October 2013

Wind turbines, local authority housing in the south of the Island and the condition of the capital's roads and pavements will all be raised in the House of Keys tomorrow.

There are eight questions for oral answer and five for written answer.

Michael member Alf Cannan will raise concerns over proposed wind turbines at Jurby.

He has three questions on the issue for both the Chief Minister and the Minister for Economic Development.

ProWind UK limited wants to erect five turbines to help power their own factory which is planned for the area.

Onchan MHK David Quirk will ask Social Care Minister Chris Robertshaw to make a statement on local authority housing in Castletown - in particular who is carrying out work at Janet's Corner and whether the project is on schedule.

Meanwhile, member for Douglas West Chris Thomas has a question for written answer in which he quizzes Infrastructure Minister David Cretney about the condition of Douglas roads and pavements, as well as what the current estimated cost and priority for repair is.

The Post Office (Amendment) Bill 2013 will also get its second reading, while the Legislative Council is due to give the Custody (Amendment) Bill 2013 its first reading, if it's passed by the Keys.
