New housing board chair urges gov't to tap in to local authorities' experience
Government needs to be listening to local authorities on housing issues rather than ignoring them.
That's the view of the newly-appointed chair of the Housing and Communities Board David Ashford.
Tynwald is due to consider proposals to form a housing association this month, with the Department of Infrastructure seeking views from the local authorities.
Mr Ashford says there's a lot to be learnt from the local government boards:
Plans for volunteer group to help with maintenance issues on the Island
Increased demand for eye treatment
Armed Forces charity in Port Erin faces closure
Ramsey MHK says government needs to step in and solve NCAS problem
