Select committee to investigate failed equity scheme
Homeowners who lost out to a failed Government Equity Scheme are to receive answers after almost fifteen years.
The Harcroft Meadows project saw some 80 properties sold to first-time buyers in 2001, with Government keeping a 30 per cent share of their value.
But a sharp rise in house prices meant owners faced losing out if they sold or renovated their homes.
Now Tynwald has agreed to the formation of a Select Committee to investigate the issue.
Douglas South MHK Bill Malarkey explains how the situation came about:
MiCard alternatives 'must be better than what we already have'
Minimum wage increase 'dreadful' for business owners
Last chance for central residents to respond to 20mph consultation
Road to close for 'very large' elm tree to be felled
