Minister says Garff creation is right decision
Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne believes merging local authorities will be a boost for efficiency and the local community.
His comments follow the news that three Garff local authorities will merge from May the 1st.
The boards of Laxey, Lonan and Maughold Commissioners are to become one single authority, ahead of this year's Island-wide local authority elections.
Minister Gawne believes it's the right decision:
TT 2026 race day two schedule confirmed
Only six-lap Superbike showdown planned tomorrow (31 May)
TT merchandise raising vital funds for Hospice
Items purchased in store directly benefit charity
Five people arrested for being on closed roads
Individuals due to appear at Douglas Courthouse
TT Race Day 1: No race action due to weather
First race of TT 2026 won't run today
