Chair of the Housing and Communities Board says health services and schools need to be able to cope with increase
Government needs to 'bite the bullet' and tackle the Island's infrastructure before committing to any population growth.
The chair of the Housing and Communities Board has been giving his views to Manx Radio.

But David Ashford says other areas need investment before that will ever be possible:
Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
