Creating a credit union on the Isle of Man needs to be a higher priority for government.
That's the view of the Manx Credit Union working party which says savers and borrowers need a local and ethical alternative to the existing financial outlets.
A lack of updated legislation is currently hampering plans - this week Treasury Minister Eddie Teare admitted that whilst it is being looked at it is a low priority.
Chairman David Talbot says changes could be made quickly if the will is there and is urging the public to get behind the idea:
What should police be doing?
Island slips down finance centre rankings
Post Office package deliveries to be queried next week
Cruise ship to return to Manx waters next week
Warning over scammers targeting Island property pages
TT course shut for hill climb
Man denies stealing equipment from boat
Hospitality tax cuts not feasible, says chief minister
