A Ramsey Commissioner says it’s ‘good’ the issues with empty and dilapidated buildings are being discussed.
Juan McGuinness says the problem hasn’t been pushed in Ramsey but is unsure whether a rates increase is the answer.
It follows Jason Moorhouse’s motion to Tynwald which says the owners of the uninhabitable properties should pay 20% ‘compounded’ rates to try and encourage development.
Mr McGuinness says he hopes a solution can be found:
