Is Douglas absorbing too much of regeneration fund?

Speaking to 3FM, David Cretney said he made it absolutely clear that this was a project to regenerate commercial areas around the island and that Douglas is pivotal to this. 

The Upper Nelson Street pilot scheme paving works were completed at a cost of £290,000, work on Prospect Hill has cost £95,000, with highway maintenance costing £35,000. 

He added that work on the town centre had been long overdue, but insisted this wouldn’t mean other towns would miss out on the £8million pot.
