Braddan chairman 'over-optimistic' about Roundhouse

The chairman of Braddan commissioners says he may have been over-optimistic about the last 12 months.

Andrew Jessop gave his report to the local authority's annual general meeting, where he was unanimously re-elected after standing unopposed.

He says he'd hoped the Roundhouse - which cost more than £9 million and led to a 36 per cent rates rise - would have opened by the end of the year.

But he added he couldn't let what he described as a few vociferous critics of the project be proved right.
