Benefits and social housing are among the biggest concerns for local authorities, according to the chairman of Braddan Commissioners.
Margaret Hodge says she fully supports the national debate on social policy launched by the Department of Social Care.
Minister Chris Robertshaw last week announced plans to radically shift the Island's universal benefits system as the only alternative to raising taxes.
Mrs Hodge admits it's a tough time to propose the changes:
CoMin making 'significant and determined efforts' to implement recommendations from Ranson review
Update on Richard Wright report to be debated at January's Tynwald sitting
Rain events 'difficult to forecast' on the Isle of Man
Senior meteorologist discusses wetter than average November and December
Planning permission granted for 26 industrial units
Units to be built in two separate blocks in the south of the Island
Port St Mary Commissioners urging residents not to 'struggle in silence'
Chair Jean Teare says important for housing tenants to reach out if they're getting behind
