Housing still a problem for Douglas South, says Cretney

Mon, 15 Aug 2011

The Community, Culture and Leisure Minister says housing remains the biggest issue within his constituency.

David Cretney believes the quality and affordability of homes in Douglas South remains a problem for some.

Mr Cretney says some homes were too cold for residents to sleep in when he first became a MHK, but that refurbishment and rebuilding schemes have gone a long way to solve that.

He's seeking re-election, having represented the constituency since 1985
