Street cleaning, waste collections and budgets are just some of the issues prospective Garff commissioners will have to manage.

The local authority is having a by-election to fill in the empty seat on its Laxey Ward which is vacant following Richard Henthorn's election to the House of Keys.

Nomination papers must be returned by 4 November - if more than one person stands polling will take place on 3 December.

Administration Officer Kezia Sproule-Craine says becoming a commissioner gives people the chance to do something positive for the community.

Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to her.
