A Ramsey Commissioner is hoping to start a summer trial of pedestrianising part of the town’s centre.
Lamara Craine is hoping to gain approval from the local authority to close off a short section of Parliament Street between Christian Street and Crellin’s Lane to vehicles.
Businesses would be able to take their deliveries from one end of the street and only 12 parking spaces would be lost in the trial.
If agreed to by Ramsey Commissioners, the scheme would be run from 10am until 2pm on Saturday’s during the summer months.
Ms Craine says it’s ‘vital’ for a consultation to take place, but believes the scheme would increase revenue for local businesses whilst reducing pollution and protecting resident’s health and wellbeing.
