Douglas masterplan to go on display

Wednesday, 14 May 2014 00:00

A new 'masterplan' for Douglas will be unveiled today in an effort to make the town a capital to be proud of.

It's part of a collaborative effort between government and stakeholders to promote the long-term economic future of Douglas.

A consultation process has taken place to look at the opportunities for how the town can develop going forward and to help growth and improve quality of life.

The masterplan is on display in the Strand Centre today between 2pm and 5.30pm, all day tomorrow and again on Saturday - the public has been invited to comment on the proposals.
