Two-lane Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 1 hour ago, Youaintseenme said: Yes. It looks brilliant to me. A new beach, hotel, shops and restaurants, plus some new build property and hopefully all without any taxpayers money. This is a statement, also made by others such as Allinson, that expansion is good. More houses, more shops. But when that is completed, there will be people who will still want more houses, more shops, ad infinitum. Well, not ad infinitum because that is impossible. You might be right that at the moment more house and shops would be good, but you also have to specify when to stop the expansion. What is the perfect size for Ramsey? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know most won’t agree. Fine, if they will live in apartments built on all the derelict brownfield sites we have and the developers pay for the increased health and education provision prior to the developments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again. Not popular with the nimbys but shouldn’t even need developers to pay for infrastructure improvements. If government managed their finances properly the whole well managed and staged expansion of the population would be self funding through increased tax revenues and we would all benefit from cheaper services and on and off island travel. Anyway, I digress. Get the marina built and that would be a start Can you point to anywhere the current marina proposers have built and finished similar developments?. Looking at the state of some vessels in Peel and Douglas marinas I wonder if the demand is there?.

Mr Helmut Fromage Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 It’s a pipe dream like every other Ramsey harbour fantasy including the Pier obsessed fleece wearing tin rattlers - now that’s sorted can we concentrate on the Government “resignations” thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a walter you are. Happy to see Ramsey desecrated by get rich quick builders who'll bugger off at a moments notice but doesn't what the quayside modernising. The surrounding businesses on the quayside would get on a lot better without cars driving along. Plenty of areas around Ramsey that could be utilised for parking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mezeron could leave easily enough driving past the Royal George 2. Fishermen could utilise the area where the Mezeron boat docks or unload on the quay opposite Mezeron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoops Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 one of the many, many bad things about this project is that,if given approval, this marina won't just magically appear. I would imagine this construction would be a nightmare for Ramsey and it's environment. And we'll end up with a rich man's enclave inside this rich man's enclave we all live in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Reason Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Perhaps, and just perhaps, if these Marina developers could deposit a say £10 million bond or whatever appropriate amount, that they wouldn’t just build the houses and bugger off without building a marina, to an agreed specification that may possibly be acceptable. The £10 million pound or whatever amount being that would be needed to tear down the houses and restore the area to its original condition. But that’s not going to happen.

cissolt Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Is there any evidence that this chap has the money? He charges £3000 to host weddings on his wife's property, so 33,333 weddings should pay for it? He has done well in moving from the shed to the main house though.
