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:
Election candidate reprimanded by Information Commissioners
Minor flooding could hit Ramsey tonight
A-Level Results: Students achieve overall pass rate of 99%
Application for former Looneys shop to be refurbished with living accommodation
