spock Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Apparently according to politician Dudley Butt appearing in a radio interview broadcast by station Manx Radio there is no-where in Ramsey for a civic amenity re-cycling site. There is information in the data base of a scrap yard called Wilf's - would that not be suitable and be more economically efficient that residents having to travel to Bride which is where the site will otherwise be going to?

Pat Ayres Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Simple really, Wilf's is not for sale. Even if it were there is a problem; Length of skip = 20ft Width of skip = 8ft No of skips in a waste site = 6 So site needs to be approximately 50ft deep, to allow for lorry and vehicular movements. 100ft wide, to allow for movement between skips and access to the rear in vehicles for tipping. Then there's the runoff from spoil and leachates. Have you ever been into Wilf's yard, it won't fit. And can you imagine the disruption to Ramsey quay by having a high volume civic amenity site there, rather than in the middle of some disused fields. in a dip out of sight from the road and surrounding area? It's a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Ayres Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 It was proposed for Gardeners Lane a while back but, unfortunately, a 'local' builders had designs on the land in question. (see Ramsey planning applications) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A civic amenity site for Ramsey and the north does not have to be in the centre of Ramsey ie on the quay. It could be within a mile or two of Ramsey. Putting it several miles out on the Bride Road will mean everybody has to drive there by car. An amenity site should be convenient for everybody including those without cars.

mojomonkey Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 It was proposed for Gardeners Lane a while back but, unfortunately, a 'local' builders had designs on the land in question.(see Ramsey planning applications) Actually that land is outside of that which has planning approval down there. It was objections from local residents at the public inquiry into the proposed amenity site that killed it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeky boy Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 People without cars being: under 17s who never throw anything out because they drop all their shite on the floor Or: old people who never throw anything out in case there's another war and they might need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Reason Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 [A civic amenity site for Ramsey and the north does not have to be in the centre of Ramsey ie on the quay. It could be within a mile or two of Ramsey. Putting it several miles out on the Bride Road will mean everybody has to drive there by car. An amenity site should be convenient for everybody including those without cars. How would those without cars transport their waste? On the bus? or walk mile or two with it?
