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.

Why are the Island's roads suddenly so appauling and why is nothing being done about it?...
