Douglas Council has agreed to spend £40,000 on ‘decorative’ lighting which will be set into art panels in the new promenade sea wall.
The Department of Infrastructure asked the council to provide the lighting for its project which is due to be carried out in three stages, starting with a section from the war memorial to outside the Empress Hotel.
The local authority says the money will be sourced from its existing electrical services revenue budget and any spare parts from the lighting will be kept for other projects.
Councillor Falk Horning says the promenade is a ‘focal point’ and it’s provided lighting for ‘similar projects’.
