Commissioners fund project from existing budgets
Ramsey Town Commissioners say the purchase of the Courthouse won't put any extra financial burden on the ratepayer.
The local authority has struck a deal for the building with the Department of Home Affairs, and expressed its gratitude to the Ramsey community for its support.
Town Commissioners agreed to grant the Department a 25-year lease on the police office at the town hall at a 'nominal rent', as well as paying the department a cash fee of £80,000.
The local authority chairman Andy Cowie says it's hoped this figure will come out of existing budgets.
He told Manx Radio public backing was essential to ensuring the sale:
Department brands loss of Greeba tree 'regrettable'
Inmates stage prison protest over time spent in cells
Local clothing retailers rated poorly in new survey
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
