This week’s Isle of Man Examiner leads with the tragic news from Laxey yesterday.
Inside we have a story about people who fear their homes might be at risk with a new blueprint for planning zones.
There are a number of other planning reports, including one about areas that could be zoned for industry and another about the Clagh Vane commissioners’ estate.
In Peel there could be a decision soon on the location of new sewage works. We report the shortlist of two sites.
After the concern about outdated legislation regarding detention of suspects, the Home Affairs Minister says the department had taken legal advice. But the Attorney General says that’s news to him.
The number of people in the Isle of Man who have been prosecuted for not having a television licence is reported on page six.
In Ramsey, the campaigners who hope to start work on the Queen’s Pier are frustrated by officialdom. We’ve spoken to them.
In Port Erin, there’s a row over work on a road. Some of it is going to be resurfaced. But not all of it. Why?
The Vision Nine investigation rumbles on and we have a full report on evidence given by David Cretney. The Examiner is baffled about why a similar TT promotion company story from a few years ago hasn’t been brought up. We remind readers about that.
The paper also talks to the mother of Adam Long, the Douglas lad who’s just started a professional football career with Wigan Athletic FC.
Meanwhile, we have a picture special concentrating on the work next to the Cooil Road. It includes photos from a drone.
As well as the sport, your letters, the social diary and community news there’s a photo special from Ramsey Carnival.
The Island’s favourite newspaper is in the shops now.
