Northern Hub is Expansion of Face-to-Face Services

Chief Minister Chris Thomas says the new Northern Information Centre is the start of government expanding face-to-face services to local communities.

Located at the Town Hall in Ramsey, the Northern Hub, has been open for seven weeks and has helped 87 residents during that time.

November 13, marked the official launch of the project which will soon be expanded to Thie Rosien in Port Erin.

Thomas also confirmed a location in the west is still being discussed.

The NIC’s aim is to help bridge the gap between the services the Ramsey Library offers so people aren’t obliged to travel to the capital.

The service is also hoping to work with a number of local organisations including Age Concern and the Northern Wellbeing Service.

Thomas says it’s being undertaken with the Department for Enterprise as part of its “digital first but not only” scheme to offer support to residents outside of Douglas.

Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him and Enterprise Minister Robert Cowell:

The hub is open from 10am until 4pm on Fridays at Ramsey Town Hall.
