A planning application has been submitted (21/01320/B) to use an address on Parliament Street in Ramsey as a betting shop.

The premises at number 39 Parliament Street (or 3 Victoria Buildings) is currently listed used as a shop/studio, having been used by the former Human Yoga Studio - which has since moved out.

The applicant, now a tenant of the site, says he has been trading as a bookkeeper for 17 years at various shops around the island.

Damian Evans is applying as the director of the company ’Bet a Bet’.

Its planned opening hours would be: 10amto 7.30pm Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm on Saturdays and 10.30am to 5.30pm on Sundays.

Ramsey also currently has Joe Jennings Bookmakers further down Parliament Street at St Paul’s Square (next to the Gelatory).
