Retailers hit out at Commissioners' plans for Market Square
'Entirely the wrong decision' - that's how a Castletown retailer has described plans for pedestrianisation of the town's square.
Last week, the board of commissioners approved removing parking from Market Square.
It's an issue which has split opinion in the town, and raised fears that it could lead to a drop in footfall for traders.
Nick Crouchman, who runs Memory Lane Sweet Shop, says parking elsewhere in the town is too far away:
