A candidate in September's general election is calling for a new approach towards house building in the Isle of Man.
Laurence Skelly, who is campaigning for one of three seats in Rushen, says the future of the Ballakilley site in the south of the Island will be a key issue for local voters.
The land has been earmarked for new housing, but plans remain on the drawing board.
Last week the inquiry into the Southern Area Plan was delayed until October.
Mr Skelly wants to see government adopt a more imaginative approach to new housing developments:
Skills Strategy hopes to tackle 'significant' skills shortage
Loganair to remove Saturday service to Birmingham
Trial for Douglas man who denies keying car
Southern Pool board welcomes assurances over site's future
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Future of Belfast flights 'precarious' due to low passenger numbers
