New LG to be sworn in in Douglas
Castletown Commissioners is 'disappointed' the new Lieutenant Governor won't be sworn in there.
In a departure from tradition, Sir Richard Gozney will be inaugurated in Douglas at the end of May, instead of in the ancient capital.
It's due to the deteriorating condition of the courtroom at Castle Rushen.
But Commissioners Chairman Alwyn Collister says the venue has historical importance:


Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
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
