Horse-Tram must be kept at its present length and strength. It is very unique, a symbol and a great asset to the Island.

Instead of shortening it and making the journey pointless, it should be extended along the Quay, and become the primary means of getting to hotels, and of expanding business in all those lovely bars, cafes and restaurants on the waterfront. Short-sighted, unimaginative.

Hands off our heritage MHK's ....It isn't yours to dilute, alter or break promises on. It is the Island's & its people & all the visitors it attracts.

Run the trams the full length of the prom on the sea side of the road. Build additional Lord St parking as planned to resolve the parking issues.

If you get rid of these it will be one less tourist attraction. Do you not want people to come to your beautiful island

The horse trams give the IOM it's wonderful appeal, and a great way to travel along the promenade

Also reinstate the terminus adjacent to the sea terminal which has now been turned in to a car park.

They are great for tourists, the horses love it and it is great for the Isle of Man.

Keep as they are, would not be the same if you could not do the full length of the prom, why change something that generations have grown up with and loved, keep for future generations.

I think it best to keep the tramway as it is, down the street and full length., for posterity.

We are lucky on the Island to have one of the oldest working horse trams and quite possibly the only remaining working horse tram stables in the world. They should be adopted as part of our heritage, not chopped up and sold off to "save some money" now without considering the long term adverse effect on the island's historical heritage. Once the tramway is ripped up and the stables sold to be redeveloped, there will be no going back. Besides - new stables cost a lot of money to build !!

Horse Trams must run entire length of Promenade from Strathallan to the Sea Terminal, and double track in centre of road. It's got to be cheaper in the long run to replace rails now instead of possibly some time in future which may never happen.

The tram tracks must continue to the Jubilee Clock. The DOI has produced no evidence to justify their removal from the Loch Promenade.
