Bill Galley says he'd like to see go back to being a Victorian garden

A candidate in the upcoming Castletown election says he would like to see work done to 'enhance' Poulsom Park claiming it is an 'under utilised asset'. 

Bill Galley, who previously stood in 2021, believes the main issues facing residents in the town are the lack of parking and the closure of Market Square to vehicles. 

Residents in Castletown will be able to vote on 24 April at Castletown Town Hall from 8am until 8pm.

Mr Galley says he'd go to the public and see what the people would like the square to be as well as improving facilities for people with disabilities. 

Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him:

The other candidates in the Castletown election are Tony Brown, Beth Cannan, John Cringle, Colin Leather, Alan Leonard, Mahendrakumar Patel, Carol Quine and Laurence Watterson.
