East Douglas hopefuls get the chance to impress
Douglas promenade, local government numbers, tourism and the cost of utilities and off-Island travel were some of the key issues raised at last night's Douglas East requisition meeting.
Around 50 people battled their way through the rain and gale-force winds to hear candidates Claire Bettison, Kurt Buchholz, Richard Falk, Jon Joughin, John McBride, Geraldine O'Neill and Cat Turner answer questions from the public.
The meeting was long, given the numbers involved, going on for around two hours.
There was a mixed reaction afterwards to the candidates' performances, judging by those who spoke to Manx Radio:
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
Douglas man accused of causing death by dangerous driving committed
Southern Amenity Site changes disposal policy for residents to six bags a month
Island's economy 'not in the same context' it was 18 months ago
Inmate 'likely died hours before being found'
Roadshow turnout shows public has 'lots of concern'
