Authority calls on central government
Douglas Borough Council is calling on central government to help provide more effective housing stock in the capital.
The authority announced a raft of measures in its 2017 budget - including the eco-friendly refurbishment of 72 properties, and brand new sheltered accommodation in Willaston.
Its yearly housing budget of £12.5 million covers more than 2,300 properties.
But Housing Committee Chair Claire Wells warns there is 'no mechanism in place' to maintain the current level of funding:
'No guarantee there'll be any support' amid ongoing fuel crisis
Fuel crisis support needed now, says MHK
1.5% electricity price increase comes into force
Tourist tax would be 'wrong move at the wrong time', says Douglas hotelier
