Follows a motion being proposed to Tynwald about increasing the rates on these buildings
A Ramsey Commissioner says it's 'good' the issues with empty and dilapidated buildings are being discussed.
Juan McGuinness says the problem hasn't been pushed in Ramsey but is unsure whether a rates increase is the answer.
It follows Jason Moorhouse's motion to Tynwald which says the owners of the uninhabitable properties should pay 20% 'compounded' rates to try and encourage development.
Mr McGuinness says he hopes a solution can be found:
Fundraiser for TT rider Maria Costello surpasses £220k
Warmer than average May for Island
Manx BirdLife awarded funding for new warden
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
Police appeal after two motorcycles involved in collision
