Estimate of £58,000 to fully resurface track to southern nature reserve

It would cost £58,000 to fully resurface the track leading to the Scarlett nature centre by hand. 

That’s according to Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood, responding to a written question from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse. 

She explained machinery would normally be needed to resurface such a large area, but that's not possible due to the track’s width and nearby drop into the sea. 

And because of its poor condition, potholes can’t just be filled - the surface would need re-covering with material at a cost of £12,000.
