An Arbory and Rushen commissioner says a public meeting held about the government’s Strategic Plan was an opportunity to understand what could happen to the two parishes in the future.
Jane Glover says she believes residents gained more knowledge as a result of it.
The meeting was organised by the commissioners - two officers from the Cabinet Office planning department also attended.
Mrs Glover says more government departments should consider holding public meetings:
