The local authority has confirmed there won't be a display this year
The chair of Port Erin Commissioners believes the money it would cost to hold a fireworks display is 'better spent' on other events.

While the event has been 'well-attended' in the past, the cost of a 15 minute display is estimated to be around £7,000 to £10,000, which Godfrey Egee says can be used on other events during the year.
Mr Egee says the commissioners has also considered the bay's designation as a Marine Nature Reserve:
