Castletown Commissioners close town hall at lunchtime because of anti-social behaviour

The local authority says it's due to anti-social behaviour in school lunch hours

Castletown Commissioners is temporarily closing the town hall daily between 1, and 2pm because of anti-social behaviour. 

It says it follows an incident that happened yesterday which is currently under investigation by the police. 

A statement from the local authority says the situation is becoming 'untenable' and dealing with issues caused by the behaviour is putting a 'growing and significant' demand on staff resources. 

It's 'aligned' the closure with the school lunch hours because of the problems that 'arise' during this time.

The commissioners say it will provide an update once a review has taken place.
