Politicians to discuss closure of civic amenity sites

Island politicians are expected to discuss the closure of civic amenity sites during lockdown.

At the virtual sitting tomorrow - Arbory, Castletown & Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will question Infrastructure Minister, Tim Baker MHK, on the matter.

Mr Moorhouse wants to find out what action the DOI took in relation to the sites deciding to shut during the current circuit-break.

Last week, the amenity sites released a joint statement about the closures saying they understand people's frustration, but given the high number of active Coronavirus cases locally they felt the only decision available was to close the facilities until further notice.
