Part of the highstreet in Ramsey is due to reopen no later than Friday following the demolition of an unsafe building.

Parliament Street has been closed since May after structural surveys found Auldyn House posed a risk to the public.

The demolition took place over the weekend from the town's quayside.

Scaffolding on the pavement in front of the site of the former retail building will now be removed.
