Port Erin Commissioners host 'design your dream space' competition

Children invited to submit ideas for the village

Port Erin Commissioners is hosting a competition for children to design their 'dream' public space.

Urban planner, Betty Laurincova is working with the local authority to enable people to share their ideas about what they would like to see and have around the village.

She says people have been creative so far and have an 'image' or 'vision' of what they want.

Children up to 16 years old can submit designs and creations with the chance to win a prize. 

Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking with her:

The competition closes on 28 April and anyone with a design can send them to competition@porterin.gov.im

Residents can complete an online survey about Port Erin until the 31 March.
