Southern hub of main Douglas branch
A second food bank for the Island is being launched today.
The facility in Port Erin, described as a southern 'satellite hub' of the main branch in Douglas, is to be run from the town's Methodist Church.
It will be used for distribution and collection only - anyone who feels they may need to access the service is asked to contact the organisation directly.
Director Neal Mellon says it's been established in response to a surge in demand:
Construction costs on the Island 18% above UK average and comparable with Outer London
'Key problems' include reliance on imported materials, labour shortages and planning delays
Wind farm debate to continue before committee
Meeting held on Monday garnered mixed opinions
Call for compensation scheme for workers who become ill after contact with asbestos
The legislation would mirror a scheme operating in the UK
