Former chief minister says government should be 'service first cost second'

A former Chief Minister says government should be putting 'services first' and costs second.
Tony Brown, who's now Chair of Castletown Commissioners, believes the two new ministers, Treasury and Infrastructure, will have to 'work quickly' to make new changes - including to next month's budget.
The new infrastructure minister said he will be 'resetting' the departments relationship with local authorities which Mr Brown says had become 'strained'.
He adds that residents have 'suffered enough' with increased costs of living and hopes the changes will benefit the Island.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to Mr Brown.
