MHK welcomes transfer to heritage body

People power helped to keep the Old Police Station in Castletown in public hands.

That's according to local MHK Jason Moorhouse.

It was announced today that agreement has been reached to transfer the historic building into the ownership of the Manx Museum and National Trust.

The Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK had raised concerns over the potential sale of the building on the open market.

Mr Moorhouse says the buidling could provide another draw for visitors to the town:
