Sulby Claddagh camping consultation open

People can now have their say on the future of the Sulby Claddagh site.

A six-week consultation officially launches today to try and understand how the land 'can best be used for the community, whilst not incurring a cost to the tax payer.'

It comes following the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture (DEFA) announcing earlier this year, that it would pause camping at the site, calling it 'unsustainable.'

Following public feedback, government committed to open the site for camping as much as possible this season.

After considering the available options for 2023, Ballamoar, who run a nearby campsite, were chosen to run it.

Now, people can now book to stay in tents or motorhomes between 3 May and 6 September this year, but a permit must be granted before doing so.

The costs for permits has risen to £100, which officials say they believe 'still represents exceptional value for money.'
