Ashford to quiz Housing and Communities Board Chair in Tynwald
A Douglas North MHK wants to know what long term housing options are available to families and partners seeking to leave an abusive relationship.
David Ashford will put the question to the chair of the Housing and Communities Board at next week's Tynwald sitting.
He told Manx Radio it comes after speaking to a number of people and realising that the short term housing that's available currently, is not long enough to allow victims who've left abusive homes, to find an alternative address.
He added it's something he believes government needs to look at and factor into housing policies:
Manx Care hopeful new offer will be accepted amid looming industrial action
Island-based Strix factory to close
'Massive chef shortage' on the Island
Bride Commissioners organise drop in session about NCAS funding
Second candidate declares for Douglas East
