Businessman brands government as 'unhelpful'
A local businessman who wanted to build pop-up accommodation on Peel Promenade has criticised government opposition to the plans as 'unhelpful'.
Duke Events Ltd has withdrawn its planning application for a ‘Sunset Village’ on the site of the former swimming pool on Marine Parade.
It had wanted to install 45 en-suite cabins, like those used for the TT pop-up village, for the summer.
Chief executive Peter Duke says it's disappointing:
Manx Radio has invited government to respond.
