'There's got to be another way' - Perkins
A Garff MHK wants the Department of Infrastructure to hold off on plans for sea defences in Laxey, and come up with a different solution.
Martyn Perkins says many residents aren’t supportive of the proposals, which include a 1.2 metre reinforced concrete wall along the village promenade.
The designs have been created by the Department as it looks to protect Laxey against the threat of rising sea levels and coastal over-topping.
If approved, the scheme will cost between £1.5- £2 million.
Mr Perkins believes the department needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with something more sympathetic to the area.
