Ramsey list to tackle rundown properties

Ramsey's voted to keep track of its rundown buildings after a commissioners' meeting last night.

The board voted to set up a Public Ruinous Building Register, similar to one that's already in use in Douglas.

The list shows which buildings are in a poor state or require work.

The local authority will also follow the Island's capital in scrapping a policy where ruinous or dilapidated properties didn't pay rates.
