Commissioner calls for change
Local authority politics in the Isle of Man needs to modernise, if they're to attract more people.
The view of an outgoing Port Erin commissioner, Ged Power, who is not standing for election later this month.
Just seven of the Island's 22 local authorities are set to have contests, while others will need by-elections to fill their boards, with too few people coming forward.
Mr Power says it's clearly time for local politics to be dragged into the 21st century:
Chief minister to give fuel rise and bus strike updates in House of Keys
Plus statement from health minister on Hospice funding
Visitors give tourism levy idea the thumbs down
Tynwald to be asked to receive report outlining pros and cons of visitor tax
Final reading for bill aiming to "modernise, streamline and strengthen the Island’s Criminal Justice System"
LegCo asked to reform court treatment of 17-year-olds
Fuel retailer says there's no need to stockpile diesel
One forecourt ran out of diesel just three hours after it was confirmed it had restocked
