I know enough about Jaks to form an opinion thank you very much. I walk past the place 2 or 3 times a week. Oh, and I read the newspapers - I take it you do too - any drunkenness, fighting etc, it's an odds on bet that Jaks is mentioned, although to be fair 1886 is making the occasional appearance these days. 1886 is more drugs than alcohol and trouble spills out into strands street easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comments were in response to @WTF who was suggesting my opinion was not informed. And yes, twinkle in the eye and all that, my family before me have walked along the Villa Marina Colonnade from when it was built. I can only claim 50 or so years. did your family ever walk up the street/lane the current M&S was built over ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an act of Tynwald slipped through that removed that street as a right of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the commercial reasons for doing so....................... Doubling the capacity of the cafe should mean a doubling of the rent, 100k? I would agree that the 'Family Restaurant' idea is what is needed but the place for that would be Peel Rd. They had their chance. Either way, closing off a public footpath is not the way. From what I am hearing, this is going ahead. Having failed then appealed, the planning committee virtually discounted a number of objectors. So now it looks as though the plan is to have glass concertina type openings at the front with either end bricked up and an entrance and exit door either end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katman Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Looking at the planning application, which is available online for all to see, there does not appear to be any new walls, glass, brick or other type, it's just an external seating area, just like the café next door has. There's nothing stopping pedestrians walking between the tables under the cover of the colonnade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not positive what else by no means been in however is probably really well worth a look. Cables, pectrums, strings etc As mentioned earlier Bridge Bookshop in PE and Ramsey have a range of musical supplies. There's a dedicated music shop opening in Peel too I believe.

The original application and plans showed the colonnade walkway blocked either end and glazed in. It was refused. A new application was submitted, no walls, no glazed in area. The plan linked above does not show any walls or glazing of the colonnade walkway, apart from by two lines of seating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katman Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Is this going to be just a seasonal restaurant, nobody is going to want to sit outside eating their steak and chips in the middle of winter and there isn't much seating inside.

Correct but did you read the final paragraph about the applicant appealing against the original refusal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seasonal as far as I'm aware. Will be run along the same lines as Barbary Coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
