Claire Wells takes up the role
The new leader of Douglas Council says personalities need to be put aside.
Claire Wells was elected to the role earlier this week - taking over from David Christian.
The vote, amongst the twelve current councillors, was split five/seven with fellow councillor Devon Watson.
Mrs Wells says to be effective, in its current form, the council needs to club together:
Reopening of Martin Ward delayed following further safety checks
Further environmental concerns identified during checks, extending temporary closure beyond initial four-week estimate
Major reservoir projects completed on time and on budget
Manx Utilities gives update on Cringle and Clypse projects
Law Society responds to 'anecdotal' reports of conveyancing log-jam
Reported increase in local demand and rise in people off-Island seeking properties
Repair scheme an 'antidote to throwaway culture'
ECAS launches initiative to upcycle unwanted items
