Residents want more protection for their communities in the Strategic Plan

A public meeting was held this week to discuss the government’s ‘Strategic Plan’.

Residents in Arbory and Rushen quizzed two representatives from the Cabinet Office about the future of the parishes on what development they do and do not want to see.

Questions were raised about windfarms, affordable housing and biodiversity - some of which fell to other government departments.
