A scheme to create seven new local authority houses in Allan Street and Orry Street, Douglas at a cost of £1 million is on the starting blocks.
The borough council is applying to the Department of Local Government for permission to borrow the money, and hopes to have the houses and apartments ready for occupation in 2011.
Chairman of the Public Health and Housing Committee Colin Cain says it's taken some time, but things are starting to happen:
Festival of Motoring 'dream rides' take place today
Cars will be on Douglas Promenade between 12pm and 3pm
Drop-in session offers support for households ahead of rising winter costs
Support service says finances will be stretched for some over the coming months
Number of bus services 'at risk' today
No reason given by Bus Vannin
Check in advance which polling stations are accessible
Voters can now use any in their constituency
