Plans for children's play area in Douglas

A former hairdressing and beauty salon in Douglas city centre could become a children's play area.

Alland Ltd, based on Falcon Street in Douglas, has applied to change the use of the first floor of a building on Duke Street in Douglas.

It says the play area would employ up to six people and cater for between 20 and 25 children from 9am to 9pm seven days a week.

And it adds it wouldn't be making changes to the building or require more car parking spaces.
