Refurbished gift shop officially opened
The Laxey and Lonan Heritage Trust gift shop has received a makeover as part of a project aimed at maximising the potential of the Island’s towns and villages.
The exterior of the premises, located on Mines Road on the route between the tram station and Laxey Wheel, has been refurbished and a new window installed.
An outside seating area has also been created thanks to the grant provided by the Isle of Man town and village regeneration scheme.
The improved facilities were officially opened yesterday (Tuesday, July 20) by Speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan MHK, who chairs the Laxey Regeneration Committee, in the presence of Chief Minister Tony Brown MHK.
Mr Rodan, who is also chairman of the Laxey and Lonan Heritage Trust and MHK for Garff, said: “Although this is a small scheme, it has proved that a relatively small amount of financial assistance can make a genuine difference to an area.
