Residents want to retain natural land for play
A community effort is underway in suburban Douglas to protect a small area of natural land.
'Manor Woods' - behind Scooil Vallajeelt in Saddlestone - is used by local children as a place to play as well as a shortcut through the estates.
With the agreement of the landowners nearby residents are meeting at 1pm this Sunday (11 July) to tidy the area - with plans to maintain it in the long-term.
Former politician David Cretney is part of the initiative:
Three-week road closure for gas main works
Public expectations for high street services 'a contradiction'
Info Commissioner partially upholds terminal complaint
MGP organisers ACU respond to accusations of 'hollow promises' following rider's death
