Douglas a town for everyone says Mayor

Annual Mayor's Business lunch

Douglas is a town driven by the council’s vision to become ‘a town for everyone’, and one ‘that works for the community at large’.

That's the view of the Mayor of Douglas, John Skinner.

He was speaking at the annual mayor’s business lunch at Douglas town hall where guests heard him refer to the council’s ‘ambitious vision’ to engage and work with all sectors of the community, from retailers, businesses and government partners, through to schools, youth sports and performing arts groups plus voluntary or third sector.

Mayor Skinner told the meeting that the council was committed to gaining a better understanding of what its customers wanted.

He said ‘The council is listening and responding to what the people of Douglas are telling us so that, together, we can create a town for everyone.’

He closed his speech by saying ‘By engaging and working with every sector of the community, making the most of what everyone can contribute, I believe that through the power of public and private cooperation, we can make a positive social and economic impact and create a town that truly is for everyone.’
