First time ever a local authority presents petition on Tynwald Day
The Manx Government has failed to ensure free access to the beach in Port St Mary - that's the view of the village's local authority.
Yesterday (5 July) during the Tynwald ceremony, Alastair Hamilton and Alec Merchant from Port St Mary Commissioners presented a petition, the first time a local authority has ever used the ancient process.
The document questions a development which has blocked access to the beach, and says it's government responsibility to ensure rights of way are maintained.
The commissioners objected to a planning application for the building in 2009.
Mr Hamilton told Manx Radio government must be held to account:
Island's first rapid EV charger being installed
Mooir Vannin could be first of many
'Significant investment or redevelopment' needed at Ramsey District Cottage Hospital
Braddan Commissioners open expressions of interest for TT camping at Roundhouse
