£2million sought to help build Castle Rushen sports facilities

Just over £2million could help create new sports facilities at Castle Rushen High School, if Tynwald approves it next week.

When the court convenes next Tuesday (June 16), Education, Sport & Culture Minister, Dr Alex Allinson MHK, will ask members to give the funds the green light.

A new capital programme is aiming to build four football pitches, a cricket pitch and four cricket nets as the first phase of the new development of the school in the South.

The motion will be considered by Tynwald when it meets for another virtual sitting on June 16 from 10.30am.
