DOI Awaits Treasury Consideration

Tim Crookall MHK

The Department of Infrastructure is still awaiting Treasury consideration of the business case for the reconstruction of Port St Mary high street.

In response to a written question from Juan Watterson MHK, the DOI Minister Tim Crookall gave an update as to what progress has been made since October 2024.

Minister Crookall said: “Since October 2024, the Department has secured Project Development Funding, and used this to procure the external resources required for the scheme, including project team appointments, surveys and ground investigation works.

The Minister explained that this has enabled the scheme design, and supporting documentation, to be progressed to the point at which the construction works can be advertised for tender through the Government portal.

He added: “As noted in the Department’s previous response in April 2026, the Department was awaiting Treasury consideration of the business case. Subject to SACIC’s approval, the full and final business case will be submitted to Treasury to seek the necessary capital funding for the scheme.”
