Our on-line survey is now closed.
Thank you for your interest and for taking part.

If you've come here following an article in Manx Tails - we're sorry, but the survey has closed. Unfortunately the article appeared in the wrong issue of the magazine.

You may be interested to know that the survey was open for more than two months and was advertised widely through Isle of Man Newspapers, as well as through Island-wide posters, and leaflets in Castletown itself.

Consultation meetings have also taken place with local youth groups, local residents, and local traders.

There will further opportunities to contribute. In particular there will be a public exhibition in the week commencing 26th July, where we'll be asking for feedback on our work so far. The exhibition will be held in the Civic Centre in Castletown. Exact times and dates will be detailed in the press.

Port St Mary-based Costain Heritage and Douglas-based APA Architects have been commissioned by the Castletown Regeneration Committee to investigate ways to improve Castletown as a place to live, work and visit.

The on-line survey was the first stage of a summer-long project that will result in a bid to the Town and Village Regeneration Fund in 2011. The work included consideration of Castletown as a tourist destination, car parking issues, pedestrian and disability access, quality of signage and information, as well as possible improvements to the square, the parade, and south harbour side.

The project aims to get more local residents and visitors to go to Castletown regularly. It also aims to improve the success of Castletown's economy.
