Commissioners would become seventh local authority partner
Ramsey Commissioners have voted unanimously to apply to become a UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man partner.
If accepted the commissioners will become the seventh local authority to join the scheme.
'Partners' are supposed to abide by a pledge which includes protecting natural resources and 'supporting and promoting' the Island's cultural heritage.
Some members were unsure of the benefit that it would give the commissioners and the impact it would have on ratepayers.
Commissioner Geoff Court led the proposal to join the program:
RPU will be 'out in force' to stop drink and drug drivers
Ramsey Commissioners to spend more than £8k on deckchairs and storage unit
How to spot the signs of domestic and elder abuse this Christmas
Police appeal to parents after party of up to 50 young people 'becomes an issue'
