Douglas North member will bring motion on local authority reform to next month's Tynwald
Reducing the number of local authorities on the Island would allow them to take more services from central government.
That's the belief of Douglas North MHK David Ashford who will bring a motion to next month's Tynwald calling for local authority reform.
There are 21 boards on the Island dealing with issues like refuse collection and parks maintenance.
Mr Ashford believes reducing this to five - north, south, west, east and Douglas - would make authorities more effective:
Ramsey residents 'shocked' at Looneys closure announcement
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
King Gaming's license suspended amidst criminal investigation
Hopes new unit will reduce amount of time patients spend in hospital
Boxing: Burden hungry for glory on pro debut
Housing, VAT, climate and tourism among concerns raised by the East in government roadshow
