The Department of infrastructure says it spent more than £118,000 resurfacing Douglas Promenade earlier this year.
The work saw a stretch of road between the Sea Terminal and Broadway improved as a stopgap measure until a major scheme gets underway.

Mr Harmer said the true cost had been significantly higher:
