Food village will go ahead after planning disappointment
Castletown has come to the rescue of a 'food village' which had been planned for St Ninian's in Douglas over TT before the application was rejected.
The Manx Food Market Traders Association (MFMTA), which runs the Douglas Foodies Market events on North Quay, is behind the venture.
BBC Isle of Man reported the application was rejected due to 'concerns over increased traffic, parking issues, noise, odour and the effect on the existing food offering at the grandstand during the period.'
MFMTA Chair James Quayle says he's delighted the village will be able to go ahead, and is very grateful to those who've made it happen:
