The cost of recycling and the effect of fly-tipping, Bishop's vote update, homelessness survey open until 27th, progress of Crogga Gas, Douglas sea wall opinion & doctors' strike called off. It’s Mannin Line with Andy Wint - Wednesday 22nd January 2025

Some reaction to the changes President Trump has made in his first day of office, thoughts on the doctors' strike being deferred, goats and a few more...train references.

It's the Mannin Line with Beth Espey.

A lot covered in today's programme, and if Beth is allowed to host ever again, it'll be a miracle.

A lively programme today with lots of issues raised by callers - which is always welcome. Among them, a regular contributor defends his position and a 98-year old caller urges for common sense when it comes to banking for older people.

It's the Mannin Line with Beth Espey.

Thoughts from you about the doctors strike today, should they be paid what they're asking for? Also some questions about patients travelling off-Island for certain treatments, could they be done over here? It's the Mannin Line with Beth Espey.

Reaction from you about doctors striking on the Isle of Man for the first time, concern about dirty buses and calls to the programme about what MHKs actually do, a plea for more play areas in Douglas and the linkspan in Heysham among other subjects.

It's the Mannin Line with Beth Espey

Politics dominated today's programme, with discussion about the number of MHKs and MLCs needed for the Isle of Man. Is it time for reform and if so, what form should that take?

There were also differing opinions on the new ratios for teachers travelling with children on school trips.

If you have any thoughts to share before the next Mannin Line, you can call 682631.

More on the fire which closed a road in Ramsey for two hours this morning, how can we reinvent the Manx high street and some news which is out of this world.

Should we cover Strand Street to encourage more shoppers? A caller also tells us IOM Post are stopping Savers Stamps, during the programme we get the official information and callers discuss why more people don't buy Manx produce.
