Commissioner Juan McGuinness says plans need to be in place to protect homes on the quay
A Ramsey Commissioner says residents of the town must make their voices heard about the Department of Infrastructure's plans for new flood defences.
Next Monday (24 November) the DoI is holding drop-in sessions for people to look at the plans and provide feedback - this is taking place at the town hall during its usual opening hours.
The department previously submitted plans in 2021 which could've seen the removal of 50 parking spaces as well as a concrete wall and new pavements.
Juan McGuinness says the town is under 'threat' of tidal flooding and believes that the defences need to be in place to protect homes and businesses on the quayside.
