Local authority says the School Hill site would be 'ideal'
Castletown Commissioners has applied for planning permission to create a new works depot next to its School Hill housing estate.
This will include a polytunnel, workshop as well as a staff canteen area and ten parking spaces.
The local authority's previous depot has recently been 'disposed' of as it was a 'significant maintenance liability'.
It's owned by the commissioners and it believes the location is 'ideal' for access to its housing stock and other sites within the town.
The commissioners add that other sites have been considered but do not meet criteria and are also within private ownership.
