Department of Infrastructure's proposals to go on display
The Department of Infrastructure will soon be submitting a planning application for a flood defence and highway reconstruction scheme for Ramsey’s West Quay and Derby Road.
It's a project which it says will 'safeguard Ramsey for the future, reduce flood risk and deliver a modern, resilient quayside that benefits harbour users, residents, visitors and the local economy'.
The scheme includes:
- New flood defences to protect homes and businesses from tidal flooding
- Reconstruction of West Quay & Derby Road’s carriageway and footways to create a safer, more attractive and accessible space
- Upgrades designed to support and enhance harbour operations
- New harbour & street lighting
- Improvements to utility and telecommunication infrastructure
It's hoped an application will be submitted before the end of the month; plans will be on display to the public at Ramsey Town Hall from 24 - 28 November.
Officers from the DOI will be there on Thursday 27 November between 4pm and 7pm to answer any questions and discuss the proposals.
Hopes first time buyers schemes will be broadened before the next general election
