Manx Radio's Mannin Line

Oil prices, horse trams, firearms presentation and a belter from Betty. It's Mannin Line with Beth Espey.

Horse trams need finishing, why is parking so bad at Nobles, how much can Government fob off to the community until it's effectively doing the work of Government,,, and Betty reveals her thoughts on Alex! All on Mannin Line with Alex in for Andy

Lord Street Development - the debate continues, but has anyone considered the traffic on the roads in the area and the lack of parking for the new apartment block and what happened to the previous application. Also finish the Horse Trams seems to be the message even from detractors and is the DOI responsible for maintaining the rivers? All on Mannin Line with Alex sitting in for Andy.

The Lord Street Redevelopment... it's been granted approval, but the process is raising eyebrows and comment... since Manx Care took over there has been a large reduction in beds at Nobles Hospital... but just how large a reduction?... And why can't a listener get a lease on the QB pub? All on Mannin Line with Alex in for Andy.

Why are the Island's roads suddenly so appauling and why is nothing being done about it?... More Tourist and Heritage organisations add their voices to get the Horse Trams fully reinstated as politicians promised, is an attempt to regulate 'Bring your own Booze' a step too far? All on Mannin Line with Alex in for Andy.

Are the Fire Service happy with a proposed 12 storey tower block being built on the old bus station site, why do people think that Manx Telecom's mobile service is getting worse, too many cars on the roads and no-one cares, and wind turbine blades could be recycled?... all on Mannin Line with Alex sitting in for Andy.

Have we been attracting the right people to come and live here, is the NHS model noble but impossible... would the European model of paying our own health insurance work better and the crumbling state of our roads.... oh and a big well done to Peel Medical centre... the Mannin Line with Alex sitting in for Andy.

Democracy.... has Tynwald lost it's power as the highest court of the land? An Iranian history lesson and more.. all on Mannin Line with Alex sitting in for Andy.

Why has White Hoe been closed whilst the buses are on strike causing huge traffic issues, why are our roads in such a terrible state, why is protecting our heritage such a hard sell to our politicians and the DOI, especially when it comes to their responsibility with the Horse Trams. All this and more on today's Mannin Line with Alex sitting in for Andy.

Bus Strikes, Windfarms and customer service... all that and more on today's Mannin Line with Alex sitting in for Andy.
