Commissioners apply to redevelop former fire station
Plans have been submitted which, if approved, could see the creation of a 'community craft brewery' in Castletown.
The town's commissioners have applied to planners for permission to redevelop the former fire station off Farrants Way.
Teaming up with local craft beer business Bottle Monkey, the local authority wants to transform the site into a multi-use event space and 'nano-brewery', capable of producing 200 litres of craft beer per brew.
The partnership with the brewing company was established following an invitation for expressions of interest last year.
Chairman of the board Colin Leather explained to Local Democracy Reporter Ewan Gawne how Bottle Monkey was chosen:
Drone pilots warned of exclusion zones during road racing
No self-driving car laws expected before 2027
Cannan: 'Too early to reveal any re-election plans'
Techstars Startup event to take place in July
