Decision must remain with people says MHK
A Ramsey MHK says the views of the public must be listened to, when it comes to the town's courthouse building.
The local authority has launched a consultation on the future of the government-owned property, which has attracted almost 1,000 responses in a matter of days.
Ideas mooted so far have ranged from a community hub, an entertainment venue, and a private-run commercial venture - the latter of which was called a 'likely' option by town representative Dr Alex Allinson.
But his Keys colleague, Lawrie Hooper, says the eventual decision must rest with the townspeople:
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
2026 Parish Walk takes place today
Armed Forces Day returns to Douglas
