First reading for Bill in Keys
Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne says he hopes new laws discussed by MHKs this morning will allow local authorities to clean up unsightly properties.
The Local Government and Building Control Amendment Bill 2016 is due to be given its first reading in the House of Keys today.
It will make it easier to take landowners to court if they refuse to improve dilapidated buildings and derelict land.
Mr Gawne says it’s a problem that’s long been a thorn in the side of Douglas Council in particular:
Treasury eyes tougher immigration rules to tackle 'risks' facing system
MHKs challenge MiCard scrap after constitutent dissatisfaction
Neonatal Care Leave 'would have been invaluable to us as a family'
Chair of Castletown Commissioners says town needs to 'maximise' use of Market Square
