New housing board chair urges gov't to tap in to local authorities' experience
Government needs to be listening to local authorities on housing issues rather than ignoring them.
That's the view of the newly-appointed chair of the Housing and Communities Board David Ashford.
Tynwald is due to consider proposals to form a housing association this month, with the Department of Infrastructure seeking views from the local authorities.
Mr Ashford says there's a lot to be learnt from the local government boards:
Treasury working with banks to offer appointments to MiCard users
Changes to religious education 'about religious literacy, not promoting any particular religion'
'No conservation advantage' to introducing red squirrels on Island
Manx Youth Orchestra set to return to Villa Marina for Christmas concert
