Manx Newscast
Monday, 19 October 2026 - 7 minutes
The Chair of Castletown Commissioners says having 'good links' with the new Council of Ministers is important to support the town's future.
Tony Brown, a former chief minister, believes the new government shouldn't be spending 'too much' money and time on a new rates system and should instead find other ways to help.
Ard-Shirveishagh Chris Thomas appointed his new ministers with Infrastructure, which has responsibility for local authorities, going to Jason Moorhouse MHK.
Mr Brown says there needs to be a 'better understanding' within government about how local authorities work.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him.
