Jurby Commissioners object to bus shelter planning application

Jurby Commissioners have objected to a planning application for a bus shelter to be turned into private storage.

The proposal on Snaefell View has caused concern amongst residents, but the landowner argues incidents of anti-social behaviour are common.

The local authority says it is 'imperative' that people in the area have somewhere to 'shield' themselves from the weather whilst waiting for a bus. 

It adds removal of the facility will 'potentially discourage' residents from using the bus and believes this is not in accordance with the government's public transport policy.
