DoI does listen, says Jessopp
The chairman of Braddan Commissioners says central government and local authorities do work together on social housing policy - even if they don't always agree.
Andrew Jessopp was speaking in response to Onchan MHK and former commissioner Rob Callister, who claims input from housing authorities is 'usually ignored' when the Department of Infrastructure sets rental rates.
A proposed adjustment is set to take place next April.
Mr Jessopp says, as always, correspondence will take place between the department and local government:
Treasury told to look again at FOI request into Former Nurses' Home
MHK to present territorial waters petition on behalf of campaigner
Temporary units approved for 'critical dialysis' service in north
Parents asked for their views on childcare provision
'Incredible' Island has no strategy for its territorial waters, says MHK
