Following yesterdays (January 28) news regarding the knitting on a lamp post, Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper is urging members of Ramsey community to stand for election in Ramsey Town Commissioners, if they disagree with decisions.
Taking to social media, the MHK said “If this or other seemingly odd decisions have been made that you disagree with then consider standing for election to @RamseyTownIOM in the upcoming by-election”.

Decisions: Sewy not sorry
In the latest of un-weave-able Manx news some yarn bombing on a lamp post in Ramsey has been removed for ‘safety’ reasons.
Leanne Higgins, owner of Pink Seaweed Gallery, behind the yarn lamp post display said she had spoken to an engineer from Manx Utilities Authority (MUA) when work was last taking place on the lamp post:
“I had spoken to an MUA engineer last time they were working on the lamp post and they said painting poses no safety risk, nor does wrapping, as long as they can obtain access.”
She said she made the top and bottom draw string so it can be cut and moved up and down easily and added “It’s wool, not barbed wire”.
Higgins said: “There was such a lovely buzz around town yesterday, so many people tapped on the window or came in to chat. I really will never understand the negativity bubble that some people live in.”
The Technical Services Manager at Ramsey Town Commissioners advised that the colourful column wrap outside pink seaweed gallery was removed this morning (January 28) for safety reasons as it restricted access to the column door.
