A candidate standing for the upcoming election in Garff's Lonan Ward says he wants to help the area become more 'efficient' and support the day-to-day running of the parish.
James Curtis, a small business owner, also hopes to use his previous experience as a commissioner to assist with the local authority's work.
Residents in Lonan will be able to vote from 8am until 8pm on Thursday 21 May, at either the Laxey Working Men's Institute or Baldrine Methodist Church Hall
The other candidates standing are James Hewison and Richard Taylor.
Mr Curtis says that he is opposed the Mooir Vannin Offshore Windfarm proposals and would have a 'sensible and prudent' approach if elected.
