Wednesday, 9 September 2015 00:00

Café owners in Douglas are being urged to apply for 2016 outdoor licences now.

The Douglas Development Partnership is encouraging businesses to plan ahead so that it can ensure high standards are met on town centre pavements.

It's looking for well-presented quality furniture and barrier fittings at the planning stage so that customers are more likely to linger in retail areas.

More information is available on the Douglas Borough Council website.
