Chair of the Housing and Communities Board discusses its future
Government needs to work out why its mid-rent scheme wasn't working before considering reintroducing it.
That's according to the chair of the Housing and Communities Board after it was scrapped in July.
The scheme was designed to allow tenants to save money for a deposit to buy a house while renting but just three applicants managed to do so in the five years it was running.
David Ashford says it needs to be relooked at:

Police provide update after incident closed roads in the area
Contractors to start installing 20mph signs in Douglas and Onchan
Infrastructure Minister confirms work will start next week
Accessible bus stops rolled out across Bus Vannin network
