There is more time for people to contribute to a consultation into housing provided by the Department of Social Care.

It has been extended by a week, and will now close on Friday June 15th.

The department says the response so far has been "excellent", with over 850 submissions, but they still want to hear opinions about what is contained within the housing review.

The extension follows calls from local authorities who want to make sure newly elected members have enough time to have their say.

The Housing Review consultation documents can be found on-line at gov.im/socialcare/consultations.gov
