Cost of living crisis: Douglas meeting tonight

A public meeting about the cost of living crisis is being held on the Isle of Man tonight. 

It's being hosted by the Liberal Vannin party and takes place at the Manx Legion Club at 19:30.

It comes after the Manx government unveiled a support package to help locals deal with rising costs. 

The meeting is set to discuss whether the government's doing enough and identify groups which may fall through the net.

Organisers say if you're concerned about heating your home, paying for petrol and putting food on the table, this is your chance to put questions to those in the know. 

Panellists include Treasury minister, Dr Alex Allinson, MHK Claire Christian, Neal Mellon from the Isle of Man Foodbank, Douglas Councillor, Frank Schuengel and Director for Housing Matters. Don Bailey.
