Ramsey: Former MHK says government knowledge will support commissioners
Manx Newscast
Monday, 9 November 2026 - 10 minutes
A former MHK, and former health and social care minister, believes his knowledge of government would help support the operations of the Ramsey's commissioners.
Lawrie Hooper is standing in the local authority's North Ward by-election; he says his background in accountancy, and corporate business, would benefit the board.
Residents will be able to vote on 3 December, from 8am until 8pm, at the Town Hall.
The other candidate standing in Ramsey Commissioner's North Ward is Nikola Brindley.
Mr Hooper says if he is elected, he would like to improve the sports facilities in the town and also look into how the rates can be applied more fairly.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him.
