Benefits and social housing are among the biggest concerns for local authorities, according to the chairman of Braddan Commissioners.
Margaret Hodge says she fully supports the national debate on social policy launched by the Department of Social Care.
Minister Chris Robertshaw last week announced plans to radically shift the Island's universal benefits system as the only alternative to raising taxes.
Mrs Hodge admits it's a tough time to propose the changes:
'Essential' that school staff recognise the signs of an allergic reaction
Policy 'reflects the key principles associated with Benedict’s Law'
'High' risk of wildfires over the next week
More warm and dry weather is forecast
'Come From Away' to continue after cast member injured during rehearsal
Two Feathers Productions issues statement
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
Baptist disappointed with lack of investment in town's play areas
