MFMTA Chair says he "could have done better"
The chair of an organisation which had hoped to host a food village at St Ninian's over TT, is apologising to residents of the area for not communicating well enough with them.
James Quayle heads up the Manx Food Market Traders Association (MFMTA), which runs the Douglas Foodies Market events on North Quay.
BBC Isle of Man reported that plans for the food village at St Ninian's were rejected because of 'concerns over increased traffic, parking issues, noise, odour and the effect on the existing food offering at the grandstand during the period.'
However, the event will now be going head in Castletown instead.
Mr Quayle says he understands why some residents of St Ninian's may have been unhappy:
