Onchan District Commissioners have approved a move to the next step in the long-running saga of a skateboard park for the village.
The idea was first proposed around five years ago and last night the board unanimously agreed to look at the design and cost of such a facility.
A location next to the so called 'Wembley arena' - an area used for football, close to the youth and community centre - has been identified.
Commissioner Steve Babb says they will now consider the best way forward, and he hopes it may be possible to start building about a year from now:
Some trailers got 'lost' during recent backlog of freight at Heysham
Census support available from next week
Mobile classroom needed to 'alleviate' pressure at Henry Bloom Primary School
Rowing challenge hopes to celebrate Biosphere Reserves
Chance to go aboard Polish tall ship
