manshimajin Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The streetscape looks quite good now the scaffolding is off - but they obviously got a job lot on white paint which is a bit boring! Will be interesting to see the rush to take up retail space! Has anyone heard any more news about the Tilleard idea to turn Castletown into Monaco on Man with 'his' marina?

DRIVER Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Looks very good and the sooner its up and running, there is plenty of scope for a similar type of development in Ramsey just needs someone with the balls to do it and not just make promises as has happened over the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentbob Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 'Inner City Regeneration' Inner what now? 1. Castletown is not a City 2. There is no inner or outer Castletown, there is just Castletown, christ, you can shout from one side to the other. Talk about poetic license.

keyboarder Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 This Manx obsession with ice rinks is borderline psychotic. Has anyone here actually been ice skating? It's crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The interesting thing about this is that Callow's Yard has been built despite virulent and rancorous opposition from Castletown Commissioners. Too often, it appears that local government think that it's their duty to preserve rather than progress - as if they want to place their own little communities inside a never-changing time capsule - and it seems to be particularly endemic in the south of the island. I sincerely hope that, whether or not the ice-rink is a success, the scheme as a whole flourishes and that the people of the area remember the commisioners' objections to it when the local elections come around again.

Not just the South. There was the anti marina brigade in Ramsey who got so nasty that once pro marina councillor had their car tampered with.
