Ministers hint at more similar facilities in future
The home affairs minister has hinted Douglas could be next to benefit from a new joint emergency services facility.
It follows the opening of the Castletown and Malew Fire and Ambulance Station - the first of its kind on the Island.
Bill Malarkey joined Health Minister Kate Beecroft unveiling a plaque outside the facility at Ronaldsway last night.
They say it could pave the way for a new era in front-line emergency services:
