Tue, 18 Jul 2023


Castletown Commissioners has given an update concerning the fire station site.
 
The Board intends to move forward with an application for the demolition of the old fire station.
 
The statement said: "We recognise that in the interim, there is a possibility of utilising the buildings for the Town's own purposes as we continue to progress the proposed disposal of the works yard to facilitate the relocation of Bushys Brewery into the Town."
 
"We would like to acknowledge the expressions of interest received from third parties regarding potential uses for the site in recent weeks."
 
"These expressions of interest demonstrate the value and significance of the location and its potential for contributing to the town's growth and development. It is crucial to highlight that the site remains a strategic asset for the town. As such, we are committed to carefully considering all viable options to support the long-term vision and goals of delivering a vibrant community in Castletown."
 
"Upon the completion of the building's demolition, subject to planning, it is anticipated that the immediate function of the site will be to provide additional short term parking spaces for both cars and visiting coaches on a temporary basis while permanent options are considered."
