New southern hub pending planning permission
Planning permission is being sought to accommodate the Isle of Man Foodbank’s southern hub at the commissioners’ offices in Port Erin.
Demand for the service is increasing and the space the charity previously occupied, at the Methodist church, has now been deemed too small.
Godfrey Egee is the chair of the local authority.
He says it's 'disconcerting' that foodbanks need to exist in the first place and is hopeful the new government will work to address the problem:
Public Health reports increase in flu-like illnesses
Cabinet Office spent more than £92k on North and West Area Plan inquiry last summer
MHK fears former MHK's meat plant role creates 'transparency issue'
Half of Island's public access defibrillators back in use thanks to charity
