Glamping Site Could ‘bankrupt’ Port Erin

Port Erin Commissioners has agreed to hold a public meeting about the Reayrt Vradda glamping site.

Board Member Jimmy Cubbon says he would like to see a resolution to the situation and is calling on Manx Utilities and the planning division of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture to attend.

It was confirmed at the commissioners meeting that an offer to take over the lease was received, however, due to local authority legislation this cannot be taken up until the site is returned in whole and must follow a tender process.

Mr Cubbon says he’d like to see some ‘accountability’ be taken from the situation by central government.

It was announced last summer that the operating company was going into liquidation and the field would be returned to the commissioners.

Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to Mr Cubbon:

No date has been set yet for the meeting, but the commissioners agreed it will be in the near future.

The Department for Environment, Food and Agriculture and Manx Utilities have been contacted for comment.
