Roundhouse access road opens

An access road to Braddan's Roundhouse has opened.

The road was built after a dispute between Braddan Commissioners and the government over access through the Noble's Hospital site.

It was opened on Friday and connects the £10 million Roundhouse with Ballaoates Road.

Chairman Andrew Jessopp previously said the route shouldn't affect rates - which rose by 36 per cent this year to pay for the building - as the road would be mostly funded by selling the local authority's old office.

A pedestrian crossing on Braddan which had been required under a planning condition was also opened earlier this month.
