The Shanklin Hotel and Accommodation Association say new plans for Dinosaur Isle proposal would result in "a loss in the hospitality trade in the Bay area and beyond". The Cabinet member says "scaremongering and incorrect assertions" could jeopardise plans
It is part of plans to increase the use of its facilities for private functions, as well as selling locally brewed or distilled products in its gift shop
Cllr Bacon said the vision for the Biosphere in the Bay project "includes making the Culver Parade area more attractive to visitors interested in the area’s unique landscape, wildlife and history; attracting a greater share of the increasing eco-tourism sector"
The schemes aim to reduce the risk of flooding and coastal erosion to more than 3,700 Island homes and businesses, vital infrastructure and more than 300 hectares of protected habitat
The idea is to capture the public's ideas, concerns and recommendations early on, so get involved if you have an interest in Shanklin and Yaverland's coastlines
