Board agrees to air concerns at next commission review

After residents complained of confusion over local and national electoral boundaries, Onchan Commissioners have resolved to raise awareness of the issue.

The board agreed on Monday (10 June) to air the concerns at the next boundary commission review, scheduled to be held after the 2021 general election.
