Low interest in local authority elections not just a Manx problem
A pay packet is not the right way to encourage more people to stand for local government seats.
That's the view of Glenfaba MHK Geoffrey Boot.
Many seats went uncontested in local authorities at the last General Election.
But Mr Boot thinks the problem exists on a wider scale:
Tynwald to revisit rates bill after the election
Proposals paused following first and second readings
Douglas Council to install temporary play area in Marine Gardens
Local authority says it's waiting for the promenade sea wall to be extended
'Significant work' needed to reduce people entering criminal justice system
Refreshed Criminal Justice Strategy to go to Tynwald
First risk assessment on proliferation financing published
Marks important milestone ahead of the Island's MONEYVAL evaluation
