Allotments scheme progressing
Plans to create allotments in the Borough of Douglas continue with the Council’s application to the Department of Local Government and the Environment for change of use of a field above the lawn cemetery in Johnny Watterson Lane.
Leisure Services Committee Chairman Councillor Stephen Pitts said: ‘We anticipate launching the allotments scheme around November this year. We are hoping that in partnership with the Department of Transport we will be able to incorporate vehicular access and car parking facilities by late summer on this site which is designated for future development of the cemetery, but not for some 75 to 100 years in the future.
‘We will be looking at providing around 50 plots of various sizes, offering them first to Douglas ratepayers. Should any allotments remain we will extend the scheme to people living elsewhere on the Island.’
