Ramsey Commissioners have bought 12 flats in the new Forest View apartment block in the town centre, Energy FM’s Local Democracy Reporter reported on 14 November.

The block was completed by a private company. According to Energy FM, it is hoped the purchase will help clear the waiting list for social housing.

The outlet reported that the building has solar panels on its roof and energy-efficient systems. Residents share an outdoor area with a lawn and a patio.

The commissioners, Ramsey’s local authority, said tenants who have already moved in are “positive” about their homes and have “praised” the community spirit growing in the building.

They called the flats a “welcome milestone” that “reinforces” how important it is to provide good-quality, affordable homes in the town.
