Isle of Man Constabulary - Assault in Laxey

Isle of Man Bank is continuing to sponsor the Islands branch of the Crimestoppers charity.

Isle of Man Crimestoppers is part of the UK Crimestoppers 'family' and is an independent Manx charity dedicated to fighting crime across the Island. It focuses on local issues that are important to the community - improving crime detection and thereby enhancing quality of life on the Island.

Isle of Man Crimestoppers also announced that Craig Wolstencroft, Managing Director of marketing and PR firm Mainstream Financial, has joined its committee. He is also supporting Crimestoppers by Mainstream Financial providing PR and marketing services to promote the charity.

Stuart McCudden, Chair of Isle of Man Crimestoppers, thanked Isle of Man Bank for its donation and added:

We are fortunate that the Island has a low crime rate, but we must never become complacent about how much harm crime can do to those who are victims. Generous donations such as those from Isle of Man Bank are vital if we are to continue our work. I would also like to welcome Craig Wolstencroft to our committee, his PR and marketing expertise will be a great asset as we seek to promote Isle of Man Crimestoppers in the months and years ahead.

Paul Smith, Isle of Man Bank Board member, commented:

Isle of Man Bank is proud to continue its support of the excellent work being carried out by Isle of Man Crimestoppers. Statistics have shown our support is playing a major role in the fight against crime and promotes the aims of Crimestoppers throughout the Island. All calls to 0800 555111 are answered by Crimestoppers staff and only the relevant details relating to the crime are passed to the appropriate law enforcement agency. We believe our support of Crimestoppers helps get this message across.

Isle of Man Crimestoppers promotes the 0800 555111 hotline and the http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org website which are both anonymous methods which can be used to pass on information about crime. All calls are handled by the UK Crimestoppers Call Centre, so Manx callers can therefore be assured of their complete anonymity and information given online is also untraceable. The charity also promotes the Fearless website - http://www.fearless.org - aimed at encouraging more young people to help in the fight against crime.

Isle of Man Bank continues Crimestoppers sponsorship

Chief Minister Allan Bell MHK has praised the valuable contribution made by members of Statutory Boards in helping to shape the Isle of Mans future.

Mr Bell said the Islands public bodies played a vitally important role in the delivery of essential services such as energy generation, water supply, postal services, financial regulation, insurance and pensions, and consumer protection.

He commented: Board effectiveness within these diverse areas of expertise is absolutely crucial to the wellbeing of our nation and fundamental in the successful delivery of our three national priorities, which are economic development, rebalancing Governments finances and protecting the vulnerable. Members of our Statutory Boards provide vision, strategic direction and scrutiny, and their contribution is greatly appreciated by the Council of Ministers.

The Chief Minister made his remarks during an induction session on April 27 for members of the Manx Electricity Authority, Isle of Man Post, Office of Fair Trading, Water and Sewerage Authority, Financial Supervision Commission, Insurance and Pensions Authority, Gambling Supervision Commission, Communications Commission and Public Sector Pensions Authority.

The membership of all Statutory Boards has been revised this year following an open recruitment process, with new appointees joining a number of long-serving Board members.

The induction session, part of a wider induction programme, was conducted by senior Government officers and covered a range of important issues, including the structure of Government and financial regulations.

The Chief Minister said: This event provided an opportunity for Statutory Boards and Government to come together to share knowledge, discuss best practice and deepen our understanding of roles and responsibilities. This will enable us to achieve the highest standards of effectiveness across organisations which have a major impact on community life in the Isle of Man.

Chief Minister highlights vital role of Statutory Boards

David McGarry, Managing Director of KPMG Isle of Man comments on the announcement of new proposals for the Manx Grand Prix Festival by the Department of Economic Development.

"The news that the DED is considering a revised programme for next years Manx Grand Prix may be met with some concerns and criticism from racing fans. I believe, however, that it is important that the view and concerns of all stakeholders should be taken into consideration, including the silent majority who I believe will be broadly in favour of the move. They may be a little less vocal than the diehard fans, but it is important to the future of the MGP that all views are taken into account.

Whilst racing is certainly a cornerstone of the Islands culture, it is a fact that the Manx Grand Prix has been much less successful than the TT races in recent years, with steadily reducing visitor numbers. It is also worth noting that DED research indicates that increasingly MGP fans do not come to the Island for the whole of the fortnight, but instead make short break visits. The new programme is designed to meet the needs of the short break market, by ensuring that the MGP programme covers two weekends, with a full programme of activity. The refocus of events towards Classic bikes will also be well received by MGP fans.

All of us, as taxpayers, should be concerned by the fact it is costing the Government around 350,000 per annum. If, as the DEDs research suggests, that investment cannot be justified on an ongoing basis then we should surely welcome changes which help to reduce that burden, particularly in these economically challenging times. From the Isle of Man residents perspective, reduced road closures will also be very welcome.

As I said, not everyone will be happy with the proposal. However, I believe it delivers a fair balance between all of the stakeholders, including Isle of Man residents, businesses based in the Isle of Man and most importantly race fans."
