Poyll Dooey march planned for the weekend

Thursday, 18 April 2024 07:11

Organisers are inviting people to take part in a demonstration this weekend against developing a beauty spot in Ramsey.

They're hoping for a show of support for Poyll Dooey, which had been earmarked for hundreds of homes by a developer.

Campaigners say the march through the fields will show people are opposed to the development and want to protect Poyll Dooey for the future.

Led by the Green Party and Ramsey commissioner Lamara Craine, the march will meet at the Whitebridge Car Park at 2pm on Sunday.
