Thursday, 23 May 2024 13:22

A replacement TT footbridge which would cross from Noble’s Park to the cemetery is not being considered.

In response to a question in Tynwald, Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall said he will have ‘conversations’ with Douglas Council and the relevant departments.

The bridge has not been in place for a number of years - Julie Edge said during the sitting it was in place to help UCM students get to and from lessons.

Minister Crookall said no consideration has been given to restoring the footbridge since November 2022:
