Skatepark plans on hold due to inflation

Thu, 02 Feb 2023


Plans for a new skatepark and improvements to a popular beauty spot have been put hold.

Douglas Council unanimously voted through a 8.76% rate increase at its 2023-24 budget meeting on Tuesday.

Leader Claire Wells said the rise was "unavoidable" due to "exceptionally volatile rates of inflation".

It means a skatepark development for Noble's Park and improvements to Summerhill Glen have been pushed back.
