Not sure it’s been announced yet but Tevir said they will pay a sum instead of FTBs at the ocean castle site as the annual maintenance fee would be excessive for FTBs so maybe similar with lake road one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Govt should set these payments aside and use them itself to build social and FTB housing, as the developers have effectively bought their way out of the responsibility? The need hasn't gone away. So we need to ask where do these monies go? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 ''It'' is supposed to go into the DoI to be used for future FTB spending, shared equity, social housing etc. A cynic may wonder but that is Govt line??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I see our useless and totally inept Chief Minister has been hitting the NPM airwaves, trying to extol excuses for his poor performance, this time, blaming communication issues with the budget! What a total Walter Mitty. Perhaps if he employed another squadron of IOMG communications officers, all on fantastic salaries, with additional great terms and conditions, then maybe the adoring public will greet the budget 2024, with joy and happiness? Maybe it’s best the CM Cannan either keeps his mouth shut, or better still stay in the pub all day, as I’m sure the island can run its self easier without his input! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was today's April fools joke. Hard to tell on the IOM though, pick any story and it's a joke.
