Council changes mind over sheltered housing scheme

Douglas Council says it's giving up on a plan to build sheltered housing in Willaston.

The local authority had planned to build a complex on the former police station site - but the Department of Infrastructure wouldn't support the scheme.

The DOI said the two-bedroomed apartment block was too large for the site.

The council says it'll now offer the flats as general housing and keep Willaston's sheltered housing in Ballanard Court.
