Phil Gawne is leaving Arbory and Rushen Commissioners after 10 years in post
The outgoing clerk of Arbory and Rushen Commissioners says there is lots of 'really good' and 'innovative' work being carried out across local authorities.
Phil Gawne, who's leaving the post after 10 years of service, believes there's been an increase in the amount of bureaucracy attached to the position from when he first started.
Mr Gawne has officially finished, however he will stay on for a couple of months during a transition position to support the incoming clerk.
He says in some instances the government could learn from local authorities.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him:
Barry Kennedy, who is also the clerk at Santon Commissioners, will take over from Mr Gawne following the transition period.
