Santander creating 'work cafe' with Noa
Work to redevelop Market Hall in Douglas has been welcomed by the chair of Douglas Council’s Regeneration and Community Committee.
The 120-year-old building, on North Quay, is getting another lease of life thanks to Santander which is creating a 'work cafe'.
In conjunction with Noa the project is due to be finished in early Spring; the bakehouse and Bikestyle are moving to new premises.
Andrew Bentley says he hopes it will increase footfall in the harbour area.
He spoke to Manx Radio's John Moss:
Meanwhile, Peter Kelly from the Isle of Man Victorian Society says the group would applaud the reuse of the building:
