People want to live in the town says Clerk
A planning application to build more than 80 homes in the north of the Island has not come as a surprise, according to Ramsey Town Commissioners.
The area of land at The Vollan was subject to a previous application back in 2011.
Town Clerk Peter Whiteway believes this request will get the go-ahead.
He says there's a clear indication people want to live in the town:
