I visited the Millennium Oakwood today and I was delighted to see the product of the hard work by all involved at the Department of the Environment, Food and Agriculture.

I’m sure this was not an easy task when dealing with the bean counters in this government.

I would suggest that Clare Barber have a quiet word with her Council of Ministers colleges and the big boss to advise them how easy it is to engage and work with the Manx taxpaying public to resolve issues.
