Public meeting for eastern development plans

A public meeting is to be held over plans for redevelopment in the East of the Island.

Residents and businesses are being invited to hear about the proposals which centre around future use of land in Douglas, Onchan, Garff, Braddan, Marown and Santon.

It comes ahead of a public inquiry in September into the proposals and the chair of that inquiry - independent planning inspector, Mike Hurley - will be on hand to discuss how he intends to conduct proceedings and take evidence.

The meeting will be held at the iMuseum in Kingswood Grove in Douglas at 9.30am on Thursday, July 18.
