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.
