A new community centre, the Roundhouse, in the east of the Island could be fully operational by Easter.
That’s according to Braddan Commissioners which has now opened its doors at ‘The Roundhouse’.
Authority Chair Andrew Jessopp says he’s hopeful issues in getting the project completed on time – and problems with access to the site – have now been overcome:
The venue, on Strand Corner Field, will host as a number of leisure and health businesses and incorporates a sports hall.

In July 2023, the Commissioners said that “as well as providing a range of new leisure, health and community facilities for all ages Island-wide, the complex will create in the region of 25 local jobs”.
This follows on from the announcement in February 2023 that the project had gone over budget and was then projected to cost around £7.5m.
Cassi McAllister, the centre manager, said in November that she’s excited to be welcoming people to the new facility.
She says the new centre will be able to give smaller sports the opportunity to have a ‘top class’ facility.
