Police in the south of the Island have a new home - after leaving their station in Castletown.

They're moved out of their original, listed premises which were designed by famous English architect Baillie Scott.

Officers will now be based at a new facility in Castletown Civic Centre on Farrant's Way.

The Southern Neighbourhood Policing Team says it's sad to move from its historic building, the new office means more space and better facilities.
