Request for committee to investigate issue
The lack of nursery places on the Island is a barrier to parents looking to re-enter work - that's according to North Douglas MHK David Ashford.
He says he's been contacted by both parents and providers who are concerned by the shortage of spaces for children at nurseries, particularly for those under two years old.
Mr Ashford is asking Tynwald this January to approve his proposal for a committee to be set up, investigating the adequacy of local nursery provision
He says many who'd like to get a job are held back by the current situation:

Energy and Sustainable Centre says 'great need' for renewable energy on Island
Man arrested following reports of person carrying knife in Ramsey
Housing should be a priority for next administration, says financial advisor
