Rob Callister says more consistency is needed to help tackle housing issues
To help tackle the Island's housing problems, 'we need around 200-300 new homes being built every year', according to the new Housing and Communities Minister.
The role's been created to try and come up with a plan to address some of the Island's housing issues, including those in the private rental sector, social housing availability and first-time buyer support.
Rob Callister says his first priority is to develop a 'National Housing Plan', which he hopes to present to Tynwald 'sooner rather than later'.
But he believes the programme of building new houses here is too inconsistent:
MHK calls for 'clear plan' for town's Post Office
Port Erin Commissioners to work with 'community rangers' to repair dry stone walls
