Deadline close for east plan views

Residents in the east of the Island have until tomorrow evening to have their say on future plans for the region.

The Draft Area Plan for East outlines proposals and recommendations for the use of land in the boroughs of Douglas, Onchan, Garff, Marown and Santon.

A public inquiry into it will begin on September 9 by independent planning inspector, Mike Hurley - a pre inquiry public meeting was held earlier this month where Mr Hurley explained how proceedings will be carried out.

Those who want to put forward their views are being asked to fill out the registration form on the government website by 5pm tomorrow (July 25).
