Commissioners to bid for Ramsey Courthouse

Ramsey Commissioners will discuss making a bid for the town's courthouse when the board sits later this week.

On Wednesday the local authority will debate a suggestion from a sub-committee to make an offer of £397,800 for the building.

Part of the deal would also see the commissioners offering the Department of Home Affairs a 26-year free lease for the police office in the town hall.

The suggestion by commissioner Juan McGuinness to the sub-committee on Friday was backed unanimously by members and will now be discussed at the full board meeting.
