Mock-up image divides opinion
Plans to replace the Cosy Nook in Port Erin with a brand new facility are intended to be a 'major statement', according to a village commissioner.
The board released a mock-up image of the new multi-storey eatery, which sparked a mixed reaction online, with many critical of the proposal.
Nick Watterson says commissioners agreed the Cosy Nook had to be demolished due to the state of the old building and the cost of refurbishment.
