Town to Launch Disabled Advisory Group

The island’s ancient capital is looking to launch a Disabled Car User Advisory Group in an effort to resolve issues faced in the town.

Castletown Town Commissioners said the move is in response to feedback from its summer closure of Market Square.

In a post on social media, the authority the group would help ‘explore and resolve issues faced by disabled people and their families and carers in accessing the the town by car, in order to better formulate future arrangements’.

It added: ‘You don’t need to be a Blue Badge holder and if you don’t want to join the group but have an issue to raise, please let us know about it. Whilst this forum is aimed at those who use a car to visit the town, we would also welcome feedback from public transport users.’

If you fancy helping with the group, contact Clerk by emailing clerk@castletown.gov.im.
