Future over Knockaloe Farm in doubt

Thursday, 11 September 2014 00:00

What does the future hold for Knockaloe Farm?

Government is now weighing up its options as to what to do with the site, amidst rumours that it could be ready to sell it off.

This potential development was met with outcry from members of the local community who called a public meeting earlier this week on the matter.

Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Richard Ronan says government must look at what is best for the Manx public.
