The most short sighted decision by an Island local authority ever!

I think it is really bad what they are doing . There will not be much heritage left on the Isle of Man. What will be next the Tower of Refuge.

I think it is absolutely disgusting that they are going to take them away. Who is getting back handlers.

All efforts must be made to save this iconic 140 year old Douglas Horse Tramway, which is a very valuable piece of our heritage on the Isle of Man

The horse trams must be kept and ownership transferred to Central Government

no more bean counting.....our heritage must come 1st. And responsibility for this iconic attraction should return from Douglas council to the government to maintain our heritage.

We should always be proud of our heritage (even the bad stuff) and we should work towards keeping as much as possible alive. This is not just a nostalgic dream, but an important way to learn from and understand our past. Without this we can not hope to create a great future.

Lets keep this important part of heritage - move the tracks to one side of the road or even cut it to one track with passing places and Also this government should really listen to the Manx public on this one thud I'd another step to far

Its a historic part of the Isle of Man and a great Tourist attraction, as has it been for 140 years. Ridiculous idea!

I am completely shocked, how can they even think about stopping this wonderful part of our Manx heritage? This must NOT happen.

Why destroy a great tourist draw and a link to a simpler way of life? And it's fossil fuel free.

I can't believe they could contemplate getting rid of such a unique service.
