Highway Satisfaction Survey results announced

Wed, 16 Jan 2019 16:09:30 GMT

The findings of last year’s Highway Satisfaction Survey, commissioned from the UK’s National Highways and Transport Network (NHTN), have now been analysed and the results published online.

In July 2018, 3,300 surveys were issued to random addresses across the Island, asking for residents’ opinions on a range of topics including road condition and maintenance, the provision of bus and taxi services, congestion and accessibility.

Almost 1,000 responses were received and analysed in order to show satisfaction levels in comparison with 113 local authorities across the UK.

The results show that overall satisfaction on the Island for its highway stands at 57%, comparing favourably with the UK national average of 53%.

The Isle of Man was the highest ranked area in the UK for aspects of accessibility and tackling congestion.

When compared to the survey’s overall average, local satisfaction with bus services showed the highest results for all of the UK and Isle of Man.

The survey also highlighted areas where there is a demand for greater concentration of resources, including highway maintenance and facilities to help both walking and cycling.

The Isle of Man’s figure for highway maintenance is marginally higher than the UK but is still a point of concern to the Island residents surveyed.

The Island’s residents had very low levels of satisfaction in respect of infrastructure and facilities for walking and cycling, ranking as low as 111 out of 113 areas.

Infrastructure Minister, Ray Harmer MHK, welcomed the results of the survey - the first of its kind on the Island - and the opportunity to see informed and objective feedback. Commenting on the findings he said:

'These detailed results will allow the Department to set benchmarks against which we can measure ourselves in the years ahead, as well as highlighting those areas of improvement and where there is clearly more work to be done.

'In particular, it was gratifying to see the positive response to accessibility as well as the class-leading ranking for public transport.

'We have already earmarked walking and cycling as priority areas, with Active Travel funding secured over the next four years, a review of the pedestrian environment already in place to identify problem areas plus new routes being established for walking and cycling. The survey is clear evidence that we have made the right decision to invest in these areas.

'Highway maintenance remains a hot topic, as the survey has confirmed. We are spending an additional £1.1m this year to improve roads, but we know there is much more to be done to address years of continuing under-investment. We now have a robust set of results to allow us to benchmark that performance, and I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the survey.'

Tynwald approves appointments to Steam Packet board

Wed, 16 Jan 2019 15:15:03 GMT

Treasury Minister Alfred Cannan MHK has welcomed the appointment of three non-executive directors to the board of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, following Tynwald approval yesterday (Tuesday 15 January).

Philip Dearden, Captain Simon Pressley and David Oldfield will join the board for a period of three years, with an option to renew for a further two years.

Mr Cannan said:

‘I am delighted these appointments have been approved, and look forward to the new directors contributing to the success of the Steam Packet under government ownership.

‘The successful candidates bring with them many years of experience in accountancy, shipping and the maritime industry and will be an asset to the company as it enters a new phase in its rich history.’

A recruitment process took place in November last year following the Isle of Man Government’s purchase of the company in May 2018, which was aimed at providing long-term stability to the ownership of the Island’s lifeline ferry operations.

The company will continue to operate as a commercial enterprise at arm’s length from Government.

Treasury Minister presents Tynwald with progress report into health and social care review

Tue, 15 Jan 2019 15:05:21 GMT

A report covering the progress made by Sir Jonathan Michael, who is undertaking the Independent Review into the Isle of Man Health and Social Care System, was laid before Tynwald today, Tuesday 15 January 2019.

The move to establish a fundamental review was supported by Tynwald Members in January 2018 after Treasury Minister Alfred Cannan MHK tabled a motion against the backdrop of rising demand and of the Department of Health and Social Care repeatedly exceeding its annual budget.

The 12-month review began in April 2018 and aims to set out recommendations to address the current and long-term health and social care challenges facing the Isle of Man. The final report will be presented to Tynwald at the May 2019 sitting.

In a statement, Mr Cannan said:

'While Sir Jonathan's final report is due before this Honourable Court in May, the progress report includes recommendations for action in the meantime, including around transformational funding for short-term needs and legislative requirements.

'I can confirm that the Treasury has recently released funds from the Healthcare Transformation Fund to allow the Department of Health and Social Care to allocate resources to address some of these immediate requirements.'

He added:

'I understand from Sir Jonathan that the final report will include a detailed breakdown of recommendations for the relevant legislative programme required. This will provide a statutory basis to introduce changes in the system as well as behaviour and culture, which can take time to embed following that legislation.'

Minister for Health and Social Care David Ashford MHK said:

'Sir Jonathan and the review team have made excellent progress and I welcome the findings provided in the report.

'The Island's health and care services will be in a much stronger position to face the future once the final report is submitted and a co-ordinated approach can be undertaken to instigate behavioural, cultural and legislative changes.'

Charities invited to apply for small grants to support international development

Tue, 15 Jan 2019 12:18:10 GMT

The Isle of Man Government is now accepting applications from Isle of Man registered charities looking for support to deliver international development projects.

Manx charities can now apply for 'Small Grant' funding, from the Isle of Man Government's international development budget. The total budget allocated for small grants is £270,000 per year, or £540,000 over each two-year funding cycle.

Manx registered charities are invited to submit proposals for two-year projects that take place in developing countries, with priority given to countries ranked as 'low development' on the United Nations Human Development Index. The objectives of each project will need to target one, or more, of the United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. A focus on these goals means each project will work towards tackling some of the world's most pressing issues.

Those seeking funding will be required to have both a physical presence in the Isle of Man and must be registered under the Isle of Man Charities Registration Act 1989. Charities will also need to raise a minimum of 10% of the total funding and include details of how the work will be publicised on the Island.

The Isle of Man Government will fund up to 90% of the total project budget. The minimum grant available is £10,000 and the maximum grant available is £100,000.

The Chief Minister Howard Quayle MHK commented:

'I am pleased to announce that once more we are looking to offer small grant funding to Manx charities to undertake projects in the developing world. This will build on our past efforts to assist local charities in their endeavours to tackle some of the world's most pressing issues.

'By continuing to fund targeted and effective international development projects, we honour our commitment set out in the Programme of Government to be a responsible, inclusive and caring government, by helping those less fortunate than ourselves.'

Small grants is one of five funding streams administered by the Cabinet Office to distribute the Isle of Man Government's £2.5 million annual International Development Fund. All projects funded are required to meet the international development policy objectives as agreed by the Council of Ministers.

The other four funding streams are:

Global Development and Education Awareness Raising Grant – this supports an Isle of Man registered charity, or charities, to address the Government's policy objective of raising awareness of global development issues throughout the Manx population
Disaster and Emergency Relief Budget – this is reserved for Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Live Appeals for humanitarian disasters
International Development Partnerships – this supports four separate larger projects tasked with tackling some of the world's most pressing matters such as providing greener energy solutions and empowering young girls and women as a means to better society as a whole
Small Countries Financial Management Programme – this contributes to the growth and prosperity of small countries, through capacity building in the Government financial sector of small developing countries

Further details of the international development funding streams.

Applications for Small Grants funding are being accepted online.

Full guidance for Small Grants applications.

The deadline for applications is 5pm on 8 February 2019.

The Isle of Man's Development Education Centre, the One World Centre, will be holding a free workshop on 19 January 2019 to provide support to charities interested in applying for small grants funding. The workshop will take place at 10.30am in the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture's Training Room (next to the One World Centre Office) in St Johns. For more information please email One World Centre.

Queries relating to the application process can be emailed to International Development or applicants can telephone +44 1624 687168.

Review on criminal legal aid extended to civil legal aid

Tue, 15 Jan 2019 15:16:03 GMT

The Treasury Minister, Alfred Cannan, has today (Tuesday 15 January 2019) made a statement to Tynwald updating the Honourable Court on the progress of the criminal legal aid review project.

Part of the Securing Added Value and Efficiencies (SAVE) programme, the project involves reviewing the Island's criminal legal aid model. Following a request from the Legal Aid Committee, the project will now be extended to include civil legal aid. The project's extended remit will continue to be led by Her Majesty's Attorney General, John Quinn QC MLC.

Over the past five years the average cost of legal aid and its administration has been £3.8 million per annum. Unlike most legal aid systems around the world, the Isle of Man has an open ended, uncapped, demand-led provision, helping support access to justice for its citizens.

The Treasury Minister, in his statement to Tynwald, said:

'A fundamental cornerstone of our society is the overarching principle of "Access to Justice" which both criminal and civil legal aid sit under. The first phase of this project is now firmly underway and we expect a public consultation on criminal legal aid to start this spring. It would seem pragmatic to undertake a concurrent review of both criminal and civil legal aid in the Isle of Man as a number of functions and processes are inextricably linked.'

In his statement to Tynwald, the Treasury Minister made it clear that no decisions on any aspect of legal aid provision had been made.

He said:

'No decisions will be made on the future delivery of criminal or civil legal aid until a comprehensive and inclusive consultation process has taken place and stakeholder responses have been fully considered. I would also like to reaffirm that legal aid policy decisions remain the responsibility for the Legal Aid Committee.'

Raise your glasses to Refill Isle of Man

Mon, 14 Jan 2019 16:14:39 GMT

A scheme to make it easy to obtain drinking water when on the move is launched in the Isle of Man today.

Refill Isle of Man encourages shops, cafes, restaurants, tourist attractions and other publicly accessible premises to display an easy to recognise sticker, appear on an app and fill up people’s water bottles with cold tap water free on request.

It’s hoped the scheme will reduce the amount of plastic that damages the environment and, ultimately, the amount manufactured.

Refill is run by City to Sea, a not-for-profit organisation that campaigns to prevent marine plastic pollution.

The scheme is being launched locally by UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man, with the support of Manx Utilities.

To sign up as Refill Stations, premises must have a cold water tap that isn’t in a toilet area or over an open drain.

Refill Stations display the campaign’s blue logo and appear on the Refill app, so people can spot or search for them while out and about.

Launching Refill Isle of Man today, Geoffrey Boot MHK, Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture, said:

‘The Island’s outstanding natural qualities were recognised by UNESCO when it awarded us Biosphere status in 2016.

‘UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man is newly signed up to the World Network of Island and Coastal Biosphere Reserves – and is among Biospheres that have committed to play a leading role in that network’s endeavours to find shared solutions to the global problem of plastics.

‘As a Government, we are also formulating the second part of our Single Use Plastics Plan, to deter use of plastic across our community.

‘We need water to live and stay healthy. We lead busy lives, we exercise more and we get out and about and enjoy the countryside. So we carry water with us and consume it on move.

‘But we are all aware of how harmful to the environment plastic can be.

‘In manufacturing plastic in the first place, we are depleting our planet’s valuable natural resources.

‘And in continuing the culture of purchasing water in throwaway bottles, we risk careless disposal that blights our countryside and beaches and leads to the heart-breaking images we see of beautiful land and marine creatures that have died agonising deaths after ingesting plastic.

‘It’s time to turn the plastic water bottle from the fashion accessory it had become to something socially unacceptable when used once and thrown away.

‘Refill will make it easy to fill up with water on the move.

‘We hope premises will become Refill Stations – and that residents and visitors alike will visit these stations to fill up their own bottles with water when out and about.

‘I must praise the small number of local organisations who had already, independently, registered with Refill, as well as those who suggested we adopt and run an Island-wide scheme, among them local artist Jeni Wood.’

Dr Alex Allinson, Chairman of Manx Utilities, the Island’s water provider, said:

‘We are delighted to support the Refill Scheme as an environmentally sustainable way of supplying the excellent quality water we have in the Isle of Man to those on the move.’

Sarah Irving, Refill Regional Coordinator, said:

‘We’re so excited that the Isle of Man is joining the Refill movement and making a real difference by reducing reliance on single-use plastics. Every time we refill a re-usable bottle we save our own money and the planet’s resources, and all those individual refills add up to a huge impact.’

Natalie Fee, founder of City to Sea, said:

‘Refill puts the power to stop plastic pollution in people's hands. It’s a fantastically easy way to reduce your plastic consumption and save money at the same time.’

Today’s launch took place at the Manx Wildlife Trust shop in Peel, which has become a Refill Station with the installation of a drinking water fountain.

Joining as Refill Stations this month are:

The Bridge Bookshop, Port Erin and Ramsey; Foraging Vintners, Port Erin; Shakti Man and Milntown Café/Restaurant, Ramsey; Noa Bakehouse, The Alpine, The Tea Junction and the Villa Gaiety, Douglas; Greens, St John’s; The Shed, Laxey; Castletown.

Town Hall and the Secret Pizza Company, Castletown; The Boatyard, Peel; the One World Centre, St John’s; Niarbyl Café.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture at Thie Slieau Whallian, St John’s, will also be a Refill Station, as will the Curraghs Wildlife Park (although standard admission charges apply). Manx Utilities’ headquarters at Isle of Man Business Park will also offer free refills.

Already signed up as Refill Stations were:

Discover Diving and Patchwork Café, Port St Mary
Starbucks and Café Delight, Douglas
Castletown’s newly refurbished drinking fountain, near Poulsom Park
Balanced Health Clinic and the Promenade drinking fountain, Peel
Mountain View Innovation Centre, Lezayre

Keep moving with new-look Read The Signs app

Mon, 14 Jan 2019 09:50:46 GMT

The popular Read The Signs mobile phone app has been upgraded and now includes a number of new features, including a fresh new look and improved graphics.

Launched in 2014, the app has been downloaded thousands of times and allows both Apple and Android users to check what is being shown on the Matrix electronic traffic information signs around the Island.

The signs display important messages for road users such as weather warnings and temporary or emergency road closures. They are updated 24 hours a day and the information on the app is refreshed every five minutes.

One of the key improvements will offer the opportunity to receive notifications when the message on a specific sign is changed. The new version will also allow a user to prioritise a list of their favourite signs rather than viewing the full list.

Using the new map view, the signs can be found by zooming in at their locations, and clicked to see their current message.

Signs that have something on their display will be clearly marked and each will show the date and time when they were last updated.

Kate Lord-Brennan, Member with responsibility for Highway Services, said:

‘Read The Signs app allows many people to plan their journeys with confidence and the new features are designed to bring the app up to date, in terms of how it looks and works.’

The app should update automatically for existing users. New users can download the app at Apple’s iTunes store or the Google Play store.

Annual update of the electoral register

Fri, 11 Jan 2019 14:32:11 GMT

Registration forms will shortly be sent to all households in the Isle of Man as part of the 2019 update of the electoral register.

The annual canvass helps to capture the information required to maintain an accurate record of people who are eligible to vote or serve on a jury.

Forms will be posted the week commencing 14 January 2019 to all households currently listed on the electoral register and to ‘The Occupier’ at properties with no registered electors.

It is a legal requirement to respond to the annual canvass, even if an individual chooses not to exercise their democratic right to vote.

Not being registered can also affect a person’s credit reference history and potentially result in an application for a mortgage, loan or mobile phone contract being refused.

Improvements have been introduced in recent years to make the canvass process quicker and easier for residents, as well as generating efficiencies for the Government.

For most households the printed details on their registration form, such as the address and list of eligible voters living at the property, will remain unchanged. If that is the case, people can respond in less than a minute via a telephone call, text message or online.

The online option is also available for people to notify the Electoral Registration Unit of any amendments to the prepopulated information.

Responses can still be provided by completing and signing the paper form and returning it in the pre-paid envelope provided. However, people are encouraged to use a computer, tablet or mobile phone where possible, as it costs more to deal with paper and postal returns than it does for online, phone or text messages.

Future developments will support a move towards e-canvassing for households who wish to be contacted by email rather than by post.

Electoral Registration Officer Della Fletcher said:

‘An accurate electoral register is vital to the integrity of the Island’s democratic process. We need to update our information every year to capture any changes of address or revisions to the list of eligible voters in a household.’

She added:

‘We are continuing to improve the process to make it simpler and more convenient for everyone. With a phone call, text or a few clicks online, people can now respond in a matter of seconds.’

The deadline for responses to the 2019 annual canvass is 18 March.

Further information about the electoral registration process and who is eligible to vote can be found on the Government website or by contacting elections@gov.im or tel: +44 1624 685741.
