The infrastructure minister says the department has no plans to take over the operation of the Northern Civic Amenity Site.
Ramsey Commissioners has been operating the site on behalf of the DoI following its potential closure in April earlier this year.
However, it has told the Department of Infrastructure it doesn’t want to carry on running the site next year.
No Plans
Michelle Haywood confirmed the department is paying £50,000 to fill the gap left in the site’s finances.
Dr Haywood added that if none of the northern authorities want to take it on, the department will put the site out for tender to private contractors.
