The island’s motorists are facing a lot of disruption, especially when they drive to and through Douglas, because there are so many roadworks taking place at the moment.
In today’s Manx Independent, we ask why.
Inside the paper, we catch up with Chris Walmsley {http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-news/one-day-i-will-dance-with-my-son-chris-1-5439261|Click here to read our most recent story about him} to find out how he’s getting on. It’s encouraging news.
We also report change in name for the former Whitehoe children’s secure unit. It’s more than just a name change, though, the government minister in charge says.
The paper has a page of news on the Summerland disaster’s 40th anniversary. One campaigner is hoping to get the whole site turned into a memorial.
Crowds packed the Southern Agricultural Show at the weekend.
In today’s paper we have the results of the competitions.
And we also meet a gay couple who ‘adopted’ a Loaghtan sheep. They visited the show to see her.
The paper also has our usual great sports coverage and the island’s two-page what’s on guide.
