Michelle Haywood has confirmed plans for an arms-length association have been scrapped
The infrastructure minister says she's confident her department has the skills and funds to launch a government-led Housing Agency.
Delivering a statement in Tynwald, Michelle Haywood said the Department of Infrastructure had been reviewing the Altair Report, which recommended the creation of an independent Housing Association.
However, she raised a number of concerns about the report’s recommendations, and instead plans to refocus efforts on affordable housing delivery with the new in-house agency and phased reforms.
Dr Haywood says she wants to explore previous proposals from her department:
RPU will be 'out in force' to stop drink and drug drivers
Ramsey Commissioners to spend more than £8k on deckchairs and storage unit
How to spot the signs of domestic and elder abuse this Christmas
Police appeal to parents after party of up to 50 young people 'becomes an issue'
