The Island's Treasury Minister says he hopes a former school in Ramsey will be put to good use before too long.
In the House of Keys yesterday Alf Cannan faced questions from Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson about Albert Road School - which has lain unused since it was demolished in 2011.
Mr Cannan said a planning application had been lodged for housing and shops on the site, but planning approval hasn't yet been granted.
He said he hoped work could begin soon - but acknowledged it had been a slow process:
