Labour bid to stop drain of young families

Young people are leaving the Isle of Man because it's too expensive to live here.

That's from the Manx Labour party which says youngsters are relocating to find more affordable housing and a lower cost of living. 

Leader, Joney Faragher said the Manx government needs to do more to encourage people to settle here and raise a family. 

Her comments come ahead of the publication of the island census, expected next month.

The results will give an insight into population trends and will be used to inform future government policy.
