Thursday, 26 March 2026 at 11:40

Tynwald will be asked to back plans to sell off a historic police station on the Island's protected buildings register.

When the court sits in April, Manx National Heritage political trustee Sarah Maltby MHK will ask members to agree selling the Old Police Station in Castletown.

The 125 year old building, designed by renowned architect Baillie Scott, is in Castletown's conservation area and built from the same stone as Castle Rushen.

Tynwald is due to sit from 10am on Tuesday, April 21 in Legislative Buildings in Douglas.
