‘The Department of Infrastructure is at the very forefront of efforts to make the savings required to achieve the national priority of rebalancing public finances. We must also continue to focus on delivering a high quality infrastructure that allows the Isle of Man to attract new investment and generate economic growth. We need to be bold and creative and I look forward to working with the Members and officers to drive forward the Department in the time ahead.’
