Ashford to quiz Housing and Communities Board Chair in Tynwald
A Douglas North MHK wants to know what long term housing options are available to families and partners seeking to leave an abusive relationship.
David Ashford will put the question to the chair of the Housing and Communities Board at next week's Tynwald sitting.
He told Manx Radio it comes after speaking to a number of people and realising that the short term housing that's available currently, is not long enough to allow victims who've left abusive homes, to find an alternative address.
He added it's something he believes government needs to look at and factor into housing policies:
Petition launched calling for renewal Peel Sailing Club's lease
Cruise ship arrival sets new record
Government and hospitality representatives hold 'positive talks'
Community service for serial shoplifter
DESC seeking planning permission for mobile classroom at QEII
Planet Earth model seen by more than 13,000 people
