Cambon Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 "Government agree to part fund Queen's Pier Project" After years of debate, the Government unanimously agreed to part fund the refurbishment of the Queen's Pier in Ramsey. The project will be undertaken by group of local contractors who have submitted the most realistic tender. It is expected to be completed ahead of schedule and within budget. The remainder of the funding has been put up by a local gay pride organisation who will be building a gay only hotel and night club complex on the pier. The new hotel is expected to attract people from all over the UK, Ireland and beyond. The openly gay establishment is expected to contribute significantly to the economy in Ramsey, and tourism in general. A spokesman for Gay pride said, "One of our members came up with the suggestion for the gay hotel on Queen's pier, we all thought it was a goood idea." A contest will be held by new radio station Gaydio, to help gay pride name the new hotel. The winner will receive a brand new pink moped provided by Gaydio. Anyone with a suggestion for a name should send it (on a pink card) to Gaydio by 31 March. The name will be selected, and the winner announced on 01 April.

BigDave Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 A big pat on the back for the DOT, who managed to complete a project that was scheduled to take 10 years in only 6 months. They will start resurfacing the next 100 yards of road in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
