Douglas Prom redevelopment gets planning approval

The redevelopment of Douglas Promenade is set to go-ahead following planning approval given this week. Subject to any late appeals this should mean that work will be able to get underway this September with the project completed in three years. Of course for the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway this will see a double track tramway retained between Derby Castle and just north of Broadway junction and then a new single line provided from there to the Sea Terminal on the seaward side of the road.
