The project to replace the 1938 current hardwood timber bridge, at Peel Harbour is now ready to start.

Construction will begin on Monday 8^th October 2018, with an anticipated completion date of mid-March next year – a total of approximately 20 weeks.

Unfortunately there is no MHK surgery this month, but the commissioners will still hold one this Saturday 8 September at 11am.

I will be on annual leave from 8th to 22nd September. I’m cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats for 3 wonderful causes.

The aim is to raise money for a new Men in Sheds in Peel, for the Scouts hut in Peel and for Cancer Research.

Men in Sheds provides retired men with a regular opportunity to meet and and join with others in a workshop setting, for metalwork, woodwork and more. A social hub, Men In Sheds has been successfully set-up in Port Erin & Ramsey. More can be found at:
