Barlow Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Manx Radio: Chance to change laws on selling former pubs without its licence Allinson has found another vote winner. Fair enough. My view is that the brewery covenants are unenforceable (and ridiculous and counter productive and..and...). Rather than change the law the Isle of Man Government would save a shed load of money and effort by paying for a legal case to test the existing laws and covenants. Changing laws can potentially unearth a lot more hassles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot extend them without the written permission of the company that built them. The builder put the covenant on. We pulled out of a house purchase over here for much the same reason.

Don’t think so, you maybe thinking of the one in the square, nightlife? Not sure that’s still open, try to avoid Ramsey other than the golf course occasionally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did food during the day too but I'm not sure of recently. It joins the Britannia, Central and Stanley as Public Houses with locked doors. All we need is the Marina to revitalise the town though.... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
