Northern Chamber of Commerce hits back about painting lampposts in Ramsey

The commissioners voted in favour of the decision to refuse a painted lamppost

The Northern Chamber of Commerce has hit back at Ramsey Commissioner's decision to refuse a local business to paint a lamppost. 

In a letter sent to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, it says it has taken a 'strong exception' to the 'tone and language' used by some board members during a debate. 

The chamber also says that it has since been explained that there were financial and health and safety implications which it believes were left out of the debate at last month's public meeting. 

It says the business's idea was not a 'welcome to Ramsey' and expected the discussion to be held in a polite courteous way which it feels was not the case.
