Public meeting tonight over halting Sulby Claddagh overnight camping

Local MHK's have also been invited to attend

Residents and businesses will have a chance this evening to air their opinions on the decision to stop overnight camping at Sulby Claddagh this year.

A public meeting will be held tonight (1 March) at the Sulby Glen Hotel where members of the public will be able to share their views on the situation.

The MHK's for Ayre & Michael, Alfred Cannan and Tim Johnston, have also been invited to attend.

It follows the announcement last week that overnight camping at Sulby Claddagh won't be available in 2023.

Concerns have since been raised on the matter from the likes of the nearby Ginger Hall Hotel, the Manx Motorhome Club and the Manx Grand Prix Supporters Club.

In a statement government, which runs the site, says the decision has been made so the condemned toilet block there can be demolished and so a consultation can be carried out on the location's future.

Furthermore, government adds Sulby Claddagh is running at a 'significant loss' and has been hit by rising costs for maintenance, security and upkeep in recent years.

Tonight's meeting is scheduled to get underway at 6pm.
