cissolt Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago A positive Douglas council story! I don't know what void properties are or if it's just fixing council stock. 70 additional properties sounds like a very positive story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So £10,000 per property 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a positive story for Douglas council, this is the kind of thing their PR team should be putting out. It begs the question why they let it get up to 70. As soon as any social housing becomes vacant there should be a turn round time of no more than 20 working days. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re all the same, Port Erin had at least 3 I know of empty 18 months, all very good carpets, curtains etc ripped out and binned, any improvements like sheds or light fittings demolished etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
