East shouldn't become "dormitory for Douglas"
Ratepayers questioned government planning officers over the eastern area plan at a meeting in Marown last night.
Over 80 parish residents attended a meeting at the Marown Methodist Church Hall to raise questions about sites earmarked for development.
Some labelled it as a threat to the rural nature of the community.
Both Middle MHKs - Chief Minister Howard Quayle and Bill Shimmins - were present at the event to hear their concerns.
Charles Fargher is captain of the parish - he says people there are clear on what they want:
Reopening of Martin Ward delayed following further safety checks
Major reservoir projects completed on time and on budget
Law Society responds to 'anecdotal' reports of conveyancing log-jam
Repair scheme an 'antidote to throwaway culture'
