The DoI says it hasn’t signed off on a new bus shelter in Onchan due to concerns about the quality.
An FoI request revealed the cost of the shelter, which replaced a concrete structure, was £3,450.
A resident submitted the request asked whether it had signed off on the shelter, which residents say collects pools of water during the rain.
They said: “I pass this shelter on a regular basis and have noticed the new works have ensured that the concrete base the shelter is now built in resembles a very large paddling pool.
“Can the DoI confirm that they passed this work off as being a suitable standard, that would be expected for sun contractor work for the DoI and what were the costs for putting the base in for the shelter.
“It’s quite frankly embarrassing that work if this standard is still being passed by the DoI considering the state of the Douglas promenade , which is built to the same standard.”
In its response, the DoI said the works “have not yet been signed off due to concerns about quality, which are currently being reviewed by our Highways Division”.
