Chairman puts foot down on plans
Talks of a proposed merger between Port St Mary and Port Erin Commissioners have had a 'detrimental' effect on local politics.
Port St Mary chairman Laurence Vaughan-Williams made those claims after the authority's clerk, Alistair Hamilton, tendered his resignation yesterday.
Though the exact reasons have not been revealed, it is the latest in a line of staffing changes at the board in recent months.
Mr Vaughan-Williams says the idea of amalgamation has sparked fears over redundancies - and that there are more important issues to worry about:
Southern Pool board welcomes assurances over site's future
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Future of Belfast flights 'precarious' due to low passenger numbers
Ministers to meet with LVA to discuss hospitality concerns
Fine for Douglas man caught with cocaine in car park
No one hurt in Coranny car blaze
