The Daffodils announce the Coming of Spring to Maughold
The daffodils are currently cheering everyone up as they travel through and in the Parish. The Coast Road is particularly vibrant between Hibernia and Slieau Lewaigue. All this is the best encouragement to get us into Maughold's marvellous glens and other quiet places. Why not visit the Dhoon Arboretum which has never looked better and is a wonderful enclosed spot for a picnic. ¶ 11:41

Dhoon School Students put on Magnificent Spring Show!
The Dhoon School Daffodil competition was recently judged by Mrs Lace CP and Mrs Stephens, both from the Commissioners. The number and quality of the flowering planets was very encouraging, and caused the judges all sorts of problems in making their choices! As usual the standard of decoration of the pots was fantastic with many colourful and creative ideas. Edible prizes were awarded to all with the winners receiving chocolate eggs. A very big thank you from the Commissioners to the pupils and staff who have put in so much work to ensure an enjoyable and successful competition! ¶ 11:34

Fly Tipping at the Gooseneck
As the photograph shows, old electrical applicances do not sit very nicely against the dramatic backdrop of Barrule. This chest freezer has just been removed by the Commissioners from a field by the Hibernia-Gooseneck Road. It follows on from a flat screen television that was dumped at the same location last year. It would be rewarding to find the individuals responsible for this unlawful tipping.

Unfortunately, the removal has costs have to be borne by the ratepayer. Please contact the Commissioners or Ramsey Police on 812334 if you have any information in regard to this matter. Thank you to those Members of the Public who alerted the Commissioners of its presence.

Issues of Concern
The Commissioners are currently working with government on many issues in the Parish; including the following:
- identifying Pot holes and edge break up on many of the Parish's highways;
- dog fouling nuisance at Port Lewaigue, particularly the Gob ny Rona walkway;
- damage to the Maughold Uplands. Following pressure from the Commissioners, the DoI are undertaking major works on the upland path running from behind the Glen Mona Hotel over the tops to Lonan;
- ensuring that provision at the Swimming Pool in Ramsey is not reduced as threatened;
If you have any comments or concerns relating to the Parish, please contact the Commissioners.
A 'Surgery' also runs from 7.00 pm until 7.30 pm prior to every meeting of the Commissioners (usually the first Monday of the month at the Dhoon Church Hall). All welcome!
