Tempus Fugit Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 didn't they do a consultation, and the only people who wanted the marina were the DoT ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempus Fugit Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 A good opportunity to waste some more taxpayer money. fixed is there really a competition between departments as to who can spend the most in the year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD4ELI Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 is there really a competition between departments as to who can spend the most in the year ? Maybe - but having seen how Peel has improved over recent years then I'm in favour of a marina in Port St. Mary. Ramsey would have been my first choice, but with St. Anne being against anything and everything that would improve the miserable dump and a load of commissioners who aren't sure where Ramsey is I'll settle for Port St. Mary.

But won't this upset Callow's Yard Property Group's plan to concrete over the Castletown seafront? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they try again? you know what there like up there, we dont like change, its the pier or northing at all We are also versed in grammar and spelling, unlike some other parts of the Island. Perhaps it's jealousy that causes the rest of the Island to want to dump anything "iffy" up here and to squeal like stuck pigs if someone suggests spending any money on us!

bluemonday Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Tey also have plans to convert Douglas into an all tides marina Good. I would have thought that would be recognised as a standard prerequiste for any development before taxpayers money is thrown at it. Restricted tidal access marinas will not bring in the passing/visting trade that all tides ones do. Vistors like to come and go when it suits them not be constrained by access. Of course it depends on what the perceived/desired target market is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
