Shared solution needed for historic police station

We must tread carefully says MNH boss

A shared solution must be agreed between Treasury and Manx National Heritage on the future of Castletown's old police station - that's according to the body's director Edmund Southworth.

The historic site was taken off the open market in Tynwald yesterday (20 Mar) by Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey, until the issue is revisited by the Court..

Members voted to postpone discussion until May, after an emergency motion by Garff MHK Daphne Caine, who asked for the site to be transferred to MNH for free.

Mr Southworth says the charity is keen on preserving the Baillie Scott building, but must tread carefully.
