Ramsey Commissioners in unanimous vote against government plans for quay.
Residents of Ramsey gathered this week to hear Ramsey Town Commissioners debate the planning application put forward by the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) to redevelop Ramsey Quayside.
The development would include the installation of flood defences, and a pedestrianised area, reducing the number of parking spaces from 105 to just 35.
A petition calling upon the DOI to reconsider the plans attracted nearly 1,000 signatures before it closed last month.
Commissioner for Ramsey, Juan McGuinness expressed several issues with the planning application, claiming elements of the scheme contradict pieces of the DOI’s own legislation:
Of the ballot, seven out of eight Commissioners voted to oppose the planning application, calling on the DOI to withdraw the plans altogether and submit new designs according to the board’s terms.
