Over the last three days a public inquiry has been investigating whether Ramsey Commissioners should be allowed to expand its boundary into Lezayre and Garff.
The latter two authorities have previously called the move ‘territorial’, but Ramsey believes the town is at its ‘capacity’.
The inquiry has heard evidence from residents, ‘expert’ speakers and from planners.
The local authority has been planning to extend into the neighbouring local authorities since 2018.
Residents who have spoken said they don’t see themselves as part of the wider Ramsey community, but of the north more generally.
Whereas Ramsey Commissioners says these areas rely on the town for services and therefore should become part of its community.
Residents gave evidence on the first two days, those living in Glen Auldyn have been the most vocal in their defence to stay within Lezayre:
