Kopek Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 A twice elected Ramsey politician. In cases like those mentioned one has to distinguish between a 'Sheltered ' and a 'Council' house.

They could either pay more or perhaps if there is improved housing stock, offered incentives to downsize to free up larger homes. As I have mentioned before, perhaps if there were shared ownership schemes with government offering incentives, help and support, it would encourage some social housing tenants to make the leap of faith. The very same people if offered the right to buy their home with large discounts for living there 30+ years, would certainly buy. Do IOMG have the political will to do things which are unpopular, or will they be up against the granny farming politicos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to a policy of immigration running for near five years and perhaps DFEs only role, without them even slightly thinking about the consequences for, I don’t know, five years. And now with the government having grown to accommodate Manx Care and overpaid teachers and relocating funded civil servants they’ve realised there’s a problem. Now, with the DFE concept MDC having cost a further few million to deliver nothing, DFE has to bribe developers to dig them out of the hole they created. But even they won’t deliver anything tangible for 2-3 years (because that’s how long it takes). Meanwhile DFE is looking to relax work permits to make it even easier to relocate here.

Andy Onchan Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 IOMG have not understood what HA's are for and so whatever scheme(s) they draw up (as an arms-length project) will be doomed to failure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
