Island residents with an interest in their community are being urged to consider standing in the forthcoming all-Island local authorities general election.
Voters will go to the polls on April the twenty-fourth.
In 2004, the Department of Local Government introduced holding all local government elections on the same day, as part of a bid to boost interest and increase turnouts after years of voter apathy.
Department chief executive Ken Kinrade (pictured) says local authorities have a crucial role to play:
Gas supplier provides reassurance amid ongoing global market volatility
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Further changes to sailing schedule due to tidal restrictions
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
