Port Erin Commissioners is the local authority for the village of Port Erin in the south of Isle of Man.
The authority is seeking planning permission to build a new, energy-efficient, workshop at Breagle Glen, including air source heat pumps, solar panels, sedum roofs, electric vehicle charge points, swift and bat boxes and bee bricks.
The commissioners-owned Cosy Nook Cafe is to be redeveloped into a sustainable and energy-efficient building.
The commissioners have worked with Rushen Primary School, Beach Buddies and the Rotary Club on a project that has resulted in the school adopting the beach, both to keep it clean and use it as an outdoor classroom.
The authority is set to start a community project to seek to plant a wildflower meadow and set aside an area for beekeepers.
It has plans to create a trail within one of the glens to encourage younger members of our community to visit and engage with nature.
The authority is the first in the Island to operate an electric van and has another on order to replace existing diesel van.
It has a rolling programme to replace existing street lighting with LED lighting.
It also operates the local bring bank scheme.
The town hall is a member of the UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man’s Refill scheme to decrease plastic consumption and littering and the authority has also installed public Refill points, including on the busy Promenade.
The authority supports community events in the village and has a project to repurpose an existing building as a heritage centre.
