Ideas sought to create 'greener' homes

The government is inviting design ideas from people to make Island homes kinder to the environment.

Officials are seeking plans from residents with architectural skills to put forward proposals which can make existing Manx houses more climate-friendly.

It's part of the Retrofit for the Future competition - where the winner will receive £5,000 and runners up will get £1,000.

Those interested in contributing are reminded the deadline for submissions is Friday, November 15 with the winners to be announced in December.
