Politicians question public footpath decision

Work carried out without planning permission

An MHK and MLC say they have concerns about how Tynwald has resolved to deal with a dispute over a public footpath.

The area in question is at Meary Voar, near the coast in Santon.

The owner of a large property there has been carrying out work for which they haven't got planning permission - this includes digging a quarry and moving a public right of way.

Tynwald this week voted to approve the moving of the route, despite objections from local residents, walkers and Santon Commissioners.

Garff MHK Daphne Caine and Tim Crookall MLC say they aren't happy with the decision.
