Ramsey regeneration work progressing well

Wednesday, 2 January 2013 at 00:00

Ongoing regeneration work in Ramsey is set to revolutionise the appearance of the town centre this year.

The project is progressing well with the area surrounding the Post Office nearing completion.

Work restarts this month on the exchange from Parliament Street to Court Row and Market Hill - this will take around four weeks to complete.

During this time the area will be closed to traffic but pedestrian access will be maintained.

Around 150 projects in seven towns and villages have already benefited from regeneration funding with several more bids also in the pipeline.
