MHK wants issue explored
An MHK says empty properties can create problems, and wants to explore the idea of charging double rates for vacant homes.
Arbory Castletown and Malew member Jason Moorhouse has tabled a question on the issue for the House of Keys next week (5 Dec).
He'll ask Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas whether charging double rates on empty domestic homes had been considered.
Mr Moorhouse wants to establish if the issue is an Island-wide problem:
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Move would 'formally recognise the area’s unique heritage, architectural character and natural environment'
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
Meeting to provide information on planned updates to Island’s Countering the Financing of Terrorism framework
Fundraiser to keep St John Ambulance emergency fleet on the road
Adopt an ambulance scheme launched
Ayre and Michael MHKs request meeting with commissioners over rates
Areas see the biggest jump in rates Island-wide
Data breach impact rises sharply as cyber incidents affect thousands on Isle of Man
Information Commissioner says fewer breaches were reported in the third quarter, but large-scale cyber incidents meant far more people were affected
