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:
Meeting to progress horse tram tracks planned says DoI minister
Huts owner determined to rebuild after storm
Plans for 12 flats in city centre
Section of Peel Road to close for tree removal work
