£9.3m spent on regeneration

Sat, 14 Oct 2017

Over £9.3m has been spent regenerating the Island's towns and villages in the last eight years.

The Department of Infrastructure revealed £9,350,896 has been used on schemes around the Island as part of the Village and Town Regeneration Fund.

Douglas has benefited most from the fund, with almost £4m spent regenerating the Island's capital, as well as a further £885,000 going on separate schemes for Wellington Street, Nelson Street and Prospect Hill.

Schemes in Ramsey have cost over £3.1m, while over £1m has been spent on each of Castletown, Peel, the South West and Laxey.

The Fund was originally set up in 2009 with a budget of £8m, but was given a further £3m in 2014 and 2015.

The figures were released in response to a Freedom of Information request.
